A sea-goddess

c.1853-1876

Albumen print | 29.2 x 15.0 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854592

A photograph of a drawing now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.258), where it is attributed to the school of Raphael. This drawing depicts a semi-nude female figure copied from a statue. Annotated on the verso.

Parker (see Bibliographic References) gives an account of the different scholarly interpretations on the figure depicted in this drawing, cataloguing it as a sea-goddess. The attribution to the school of Raphael is based on the wash technique used in this drawing which appears to him typical of the circle of Raphael.
