Holy Families & Madonna and Child
Holy Families & Madonna and Child
Study for the Virgin and Child with the Infant Baptist and St Elizabeth
c.1823-1874Lithograph with tint stone | 32.3 x 28.7 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 850768
Ruland (1876) described the drawing as a study by Raphael for his so-called Canigiani Holy Family (c.1507-08; see RCIN 850756 for a photograph of the painting). It is now generally thought that the drawing is based on a sheet in the Musée Chantilly (see RCIN 850769 for a photograph of it), lacking the figure of St Joseph. See Bibliographic References.
Showing the Virgin supporting the Christ Child on her knees, who leans forward to the Infant Baptist resting on St Elizabeth’s lap.
