- Curator's comments
- The print carries the legend that van Loo made his drawn copy after a drawing by Raphael kept in the portfolios of M. Dandré Bardon. It is lettered with the following information on its technical innovation: "Nouvelle méthode de dessiner sur une ardoise sur une toile bleue ou grise ou sur une planche noir avec du crayon blanc que l'on efface avec une éponge ou un petit linge".
