About the Work

In delicate silverpoint on coloured paper, Raphael drew this head of a child as a preliminary study for the Madonna del Granduca now in the Uffizi in Florence. The drawing technique of this sheet from the Städel collection reflects the chromatic effect of the painting. Even if the pensively gazing child makes a very lifelike impression, we cannot say for sure whether the artist drew it from nature or his imagination.
