note:  From AIC: "Davidson noted the similarity of the circle of dancing figures to the putti in the oval ceiling panels of the Villa Madama Loggia, but she believed that the engraving probably preceded those paintings. She also perceptively conjectured that Raimondi's model for this engraving might have had an oval format." https://www.artic.edu/artworks/106681/dance-of-cupids
