This document the Nota dei quadri buoni (record of beautiful pictures) inventoried the artworks of Duchy of Urbino in advance of Vittoria's marriage to Ferdinando II de' Medici, finalised in 1634. This inventory describes "un rittratto di Raffaello di sua mano" (a portrait of Raphael in his own hand). It is not conclusively known whether this inventory description refers to the work in the Uffizi, as no other identifying features, inventory numbers or measurements are cited.

1663-75 Noted in the private collection of Leopoldo de' Medici. In 1667 Leopoldo was named Cardinal by Pope Clement IX, travelling to Rome.
