- Print after Correggio's Madonna adoring the Child, featured in the 'Reale Galleria di Firenze illustrata' in 1817, now in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence. See Gould, 1976, p. 209.
According to Mussini, the print is part of the volume "Tableaux, Statues, Bas-Relief...de la Galerie de Florence et du Palais Pitti" (see 1848,1125.561). The print seems to be an earlier untitled state of the one in the catalogue. See "Correggio Tradotto", 1995, p. 152.
