A photograph of Raphael's so-called ‘Small Cowper Madonna’ (c.1505-06) that Ruland (1876) catalogued as being then in the collection of the Earl Cowper, Penshanger and now in the National Gallery, Washington DC (inv. no.1942.9.57).
This photograph is one of the two currently part of the Raphael Collection reproducing the ‘Small Cowper Madonna’: one was listed by Ruland in his catalogue of the collection, the other is likely to be a later addition (see RCIN 850692).
Showing the seated figure of the Virgin supporting with her left hand the Christ Child who is standing on her lap throwing his arms round her neck.
