AFTER A WORK ASSOCIATED WITH RAPHAEL (1483-1520)

Various sketches and verses

c.1853-1876

Albumen print | 28.5 x 17.5 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854385

A photograph of a pen and ink drawing by a follower of Raphael now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no. WA1846.230). This drawing depicts a draped figure, various sketches and verses. Annotated on the verso.

In the catalogue of the Italian drawings of the Ashmolean Museum Parker (see Bibliographic References) catalogued the drawing as by a Roman artist of the first half of the 16th century "of little merit". The verses are vaguely reminiscent of Aretino's 'Dubbi amorosi'.
