Published in Picturae omniumque bonarium Artium Cultori eximio..., a series of 15 plates (including title-page with dedication to Nicolò Simonelli) reproducing monochromes supposedly designed by Raphael for the Vatican stanze and the Sistine Chapel tapestries. The plates were etched by Pietro Santi Bartoli and the series was published in Rome by Gian Giacomo de Rossi. For further discussion, see Bibliographic References.

A related drawing formerly attributed to Raphael for this composition was catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the Royal Collection at Stockholm. A photograph of the drawing at RCIN 852788.
