A circular print reproducing a composition derived from the so-called Virgin and the Cradle, a composition associated with designs by Raphael known through an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi. Lettered with production details, crediting Raphael with the execution of a painting of this subject. For a first state impression of the plate by Raimondi, see RCIN 851273.
