Young monk reading a book

c.1853-76

Albumen print | 33.7 x 25.4 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 851589

A photograph of a drawing by Raphael (c.1504-05) now in the Musée Condé, Chantilly (inv. no.50 (42)). Ruland (1876) catalogued the drawing as being then in the collection of the Duke of Aumale (1822-97). The purpose and the date of the drawing are still matter of dispute.
