The Annunciation
c.1530-1560Engraving | 28.9 x 20.6 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 850484
An engraving by Jacopo Caraglio after a drawing depicting The Annunciation now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.304; see RCIN 850483 for a photograph of this drawing). This print is lettered with the attribution of the drawing to Raphael. With collector's stamp (Lugt no. 1033). Trimmed within the platemark.
This drawing was traditionally thought to be by Raphael or one of his pupils, but Parker (see Bibliographic References) attributed it to Tommaso Vincidor on the basis of similarities between this drawing and one by Vincidor now in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no 4269). The contours of the drawing now in the Ashmolean Museum are pricked, possibly to transfer the composition on the print catalogued here, which Caraglio executed in the same direction and size.
