A photograph of a drawing by Raphael (c.1507) now in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 912738). The drawing connects with a sheet attributed to Raphael currently in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3949). The two drawings show similarity in composition with The Canigiani Holy Family, a painting by Raphael now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich (inv. no.WA 476). It has been suggested that the two drawings may be either preparatory studies for a – lost or never executed - composition, or independent developments from The Canigiani Holy Family. A photograph of the Canigiani Holy Family can be found at RCIN 850756.
