This engraving was executed after Giulio Romano and dedicated to Eleonora of Austria, wife of Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, and Duchess of Mantua. The composition is a copy after one of the tapestries Raphael and his workshop designed for the Sistine Chapel. The Gonzaga family was one of the private parties who bought a set of the tapestries for their own palace, woven from the same drawings as the papal originals.
