Albumen print | 19.5 x 26.0 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854570
A photograph of a drawing by the school of Raphael depicting a group of figures from the antique now in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no. 3878 verso). See RCIN 854569 for a photograph of the recto.
Cordellier and Py (see Bibliographic References) catalogued this drawing as a study by an artist in Raphael's studio (Giulio Romano?). They suggested that the motifs here depicted (perhaps Mercury leading to Hell a husband lamented by his wife) were borrowed from imperial Roman coins, while Ruland (1876) believed the source to be a bas-relief. See also RCINs 854571 and 854572 for photographs of drawings depicting similar compositions in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
