The prototype of circa 1504, on panel, 84.4 x 55.9 cm, is in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, inv. no.178 (M. Gregori, Uffizi e Pitti - i dipinti delle gallerie Fiorentine 1994, p.166, fig.205). It was named after Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Habsburg, who acquired it in 1799. Painted in Florence, shortly after Raphael's arrival from Umbria, the composition reveals the influence of Leonardo, both in the chiaroscuro of the Madonna and Child and in the plain background.
