Study for "Raphael and the Fornarina"(). Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 10 x 7 3/4 in. (25.4 x 19.7 cm). Date: ca. 1814().This beguiling drawing relates to "Raphael and La Fornarina", a subject Ingres painted on several occasions. In the painting, Raphael appears in the studio with his fabled mistress-model "La Fornarina" (the baker's daughter) sitting on his lap. Ingres, who greatly admired Raphael, seems to have had Raphael's love interest in mind at the very moment of his own courtship and marriage to Madeleine Chapelle. Madeleine has been identified as the model for this study drawn from life. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Head of a Woman Looking to Upper Left 1590-1600 Attributed to Annibale Carracci Italian Reminiscent of an ancient Roman sculpture, this arresting depiction of a monumental female head has been attributed on sound grounds to Annibale Carracci, by whom other similar drawings are known. Although no such figure is found in any of Annibale's paintings, the classicizing, idealized facial type recalls his frescoes in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. (An earlier attribution to Annibale's older cousin and early collaborator, Ludovico Carracci, recorded in the annotation at lower left, is less plausible.) The scale and technique suggest that the work may be a cartoon, a full-scale study for a corresponding detail in a finished work. It is possible that the figure's ill-defined headdress is meant to be a turban, in which case she-like some of the other female subjects represented in drawings hanging nearby-may be a sibyl or ancient prophetess.The head is drawn in an exquisitely atmospheric technique,
