    AFTER A WORK BY A FOLLOWER OF RAPHAEL (1483-1520)

    Portrait of a Man

    after 1853

    Albumen print | 16.2 x 16.9 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 851997

    A photograph of a painting in the Royal Collection (RCIN 405760) currently attributed to a follower of Raphael. The authorship of the painting and the identity of the sitter are matters of dispute. It has been suggested that the painting may be a self-portrait painted by Raphael around 1505-6 in Urbino. Another photograph of the painting at RCIN 851996.
