      A photograph of a pen and ink drawing now in the Louvre (inv. no. 4329), where it is attributed to Biagio Pupini.

      This drawing depicts an old draped man and it was traditionally attributed to Raphael and then later to his school. Following a proposal by Pouncey, this drawing was ascribed to Biagio Pupini. This drawing was known in the past as 'La Perle orientale' of Padre Sebastiano Resta's collection.
