About this work
An oval engraving shows three nude figures crowning a bust of Raphael with a laurel wreath, while a seated draped woman and a small cherub look on beside a pedestal decorated with swags. A classical urn and curtain frame the scene, and an inscription beneath the image quotes verse praising Raphael's colours and touch. The print was designed by Giovanni Battista Cipriani and published in London.
