A photograph of a pen and ink drawing after Raphael now in the Musée des Beaux Arts, Lille (inv. no. 490). This drawing depicts a nude man and various anatomical studies. Annotated on the verso.
Traditionally attributed to the Florentine period of Raphael (c.1507-1508), this drawing is now considered to be a copy. The anatomical studies show similarities with various drawings by Raphael (Albertina, Vienna, inv. no. 117; Ashmolean Museum, Oxford: inv. nos. WA1846.178 and WA1846.179, which are photographed at RCINs 852251, 852852 and 852853; British Museum, inv. no. 1895-9-15-624). See Bibliographic References.
A copy of this photograph (RCIN 852383) can be found in the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection, portfolio 48 (970608)
