Studies for a Virgin and Child with the Infant Baptist

Two jointed photographs reproducing the recto of a study sheet by Raphael (c.1505) now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.IV,207 r). The sheet is connected with Raphael's so-called ‘Madonna of the Meadow’ (1505-1506), a painting now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (inv. no.GG175), in preparation of which it is thought to have been executed. See RCIN 850706 for a print reproducing the painting.

A copy of this photograph (RCIN 850711) can be found in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 8 (970567)
