- Included in the 'Cabinet Crozat' set; see 1907,1121.14 for comment.
The plate seems to be an earlier state of V,6.7; for instance, some details (in the folds, in the hat) are missing, the face seems broader, the beard is shorter.
For final lettered state, see 1855,0609.92
After a painting by Raphael which is now in the Musée du Louvre (Inv. 611).
