A photograph of a drawing currently in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 990506), the attribution of which is matter of debate. Some scholars attribute it to Perino del Vaga (Clayton 1999) while others to G.F. Penni (Massari in Raphael Invenit 1985).
The drawing largely corresponds to the left-hand portion of an angraving by Agostino Veneziano, lettered with an inscription crediting Raphael with the invention of the composition. It has been suggested that the composition may derive from a fresco of this subject painted by Giulio Romano in the Camerino dei Falconi in the Palazzo Ducale, Mantua. A second state impression of Agostino's engraving can be found at RCIN 852202. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.Provenance
