According to Ruland (1876), this print is based upon a facsimile of the Städel drawing by Count Caylus (see RCIN 852429), and was published in Reynold's Lectures.
The Städel drawing is a preliminary study for the lower left section of the Disputa (The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament), painted by Raphael in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican between 1508 and 1511. A photograph of the drawing can be found at RCIN 852426.Provenance
