Specialist note

Long considered to be by Rubens, this drawing copies a sheet after Raphael retouched by Rubens, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (see New York, 2005, op. cit., no. 114). The drawings show figures from the fresco by Raphael in the Chigi Chapel, Santa Maria della Pace, Rome. The attribution to Quellinus was suggested by Jeremy Wood (op. cit.).
