Albumen print | 24.2 x 15.7 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854368

A photograph of a pen and ink drawing by Raphael (c.1506-1508) now in the British Museum (inv. no. Pp,1.75). Annotated on the verso.

This drawing depicts two men advancing over the body of a third. This drawing comes from a period when Raphael was copying Florentine art and it has been associated with two drawings now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. nos. WA1846.178 and WA1846.179 recto and verso; see RCINs 852251, 852852 and 852853 for photographs of these drawings). This drawing features a study for a nude man on the verso (see RCIN 854369 for a photograph of it).
