La petite sainte-famille de Raphael : Madonna Piccola d'Isabelle de Gonzague : son identification établi par le sceau, son originalité constatée par Pierre Mignard, Charles Le Brun, etc
A late nineteenth-century Paris study by art historian Charles Roussel, published in 1896, arguing about the attribution and identity of Raphael's small Holy Family painting for scholars and collectors of Renaissance art. The three pictures are a decorative grotesque-style ornamental panel, a reproduction of the Holy Family with saints in a landscape, and a heraldic coat of arms with stars and a diagonal arrow, which a designer might take from its dense scrollwork, classical figure-and-foliage borders, and crisp hatched shield.
