A self-portrait of Raphael?
c.1800-1835Lithograph | 27.0 x 20.5 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 850009
A lithograph reproducing a drawing by Raphael now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.158). This print is lettered with the title and provenance of the work.
This is a very controversial drawing: it was traditionally considered a self-portrait of Raphael (c.1500), but Parker (see Bibliographic References) dated it c.1504 and did not identify Raphael as the sitter. The drawing is inscribed by a later hand "Ritratto di se medessimo quando giovane", which translates as "portrait of himself when a youth"; the same inscription is found on a drawing now in the British Museum (inv. no. 1860,0616.94; see RCIN 850005 for a photograph of it).
