Self-Portrait of Raphael
c.1680-1820Engraving | 55.2 x 43.8 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 852016
The sitter has always been identified with Raphael, but the author of the painting is still debated. Some scholars consider it a copy after Raphael's self-portrait in his School of Athens fresco, whereas others regard it as an autograph self-portrait painted by Raphael himself. The dating of the painting is also a matter of dispute, with suggestions ranging from 1505 to 1509.
