After a work previously attributed to Raphael (1483-1520)
Children and putti playing c.1860-76
-
A photograph of a drawing now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3887).
Another drawing of this subject survives in the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf (inv. no.D.208; photograph at RCIN 851877). The composition was also reproduced in a chiaroscuro by the Monogrammist NDB, an impression of which can be found at RCIN 851879. Scholars have pointed out connections between this composition and the so-called Giuochi di putti, a set of tapestries designed by Giovanni da Udine/Tommaso Vincidor and woven in Flanders for Leo X.
