## Commentary

This composition can be fundamentally derived from &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/l/leonardo/04/3burlin.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/l/leonardo/04/3burlin.html&#34;&gt;Leonardo&#39;s cartoon&lt;/a&gt; in London, which became very popular and to which works by Raphael and the painters in his circle can be linked. Calvaert was significantly influenced by the works of Raphael and his students during his period in Rome as manifested by his copies made after them.
