From a series of thirteen plates reproducing the figures designed by Raphael for the stanza d'Eliodoro, Vatican. The autorship of the plates is uncertain: Mariette (followed by Le Blanc) argues that the plates were engraved by Jean and Benoît Audran, under the direction of their father Gérard. But it is also possible that they were engraved by Gérard himself.
