Agostino Veneziano was one of the chief assistants in the workshop of Marcantonio Raimondi, the premier engraver of Raphael’s drawings. Both artists engraved versions of Man Carrying the Base of a Column , which bear striking resemblances to each other; it is unclear which print came first. Raimondi reversed the compositions of his sources, and his rendition of this scene is a mirror image of the present work. Agostino Veneziano’s curious Man under a Laurel Tree (1920.2361) may also reproduce a Raphael drawing.
