A photograph of a drawing currently attributed to the so-called ‘Calligraphic Forger’ now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.17576).
Ruland (1876) described the drawing as a study by Raphael for his so-called Canigiani Holy Family (c.1507-08; see RCIN 850756 for a photograph of the painting). It is now generally thought that the drawing is based on a sheet in the Musée Chantilly (see RCIN 850769 for a photograph of it), lacking the figure of St Joseph.

Acquired for the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1860-76)
