Albumen print | 29.8 x 25.5 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 850793
A photograph of a painting formerly in the Museum at Verona (according to an annotation written in the master copy of Ruland's Raphael Collection catalogue kept in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle). Not listed in Ruland (1876).
The painting is a variation after the so-called Madonna del Velo, a composition thought to have been designed by Raphael around 1510-12 and eventually executed by his workshop (currently untraced; see Bibliographic References).
Showing the Christ Child sleeping on the left; the Virgin looks at Him while lifting the veil over His head with her right hand and supporting the Infant Baptist with her left, who points at the Child; St Elizabeth is on the right.
