Study for the Holy Family1518Red chalk, 173 x 119 mm Musée du Louvre, Paris | |
Pope Leo X commissioned from Raphael the Holy Family (now in the Louvre), for which this drawing was made. The study from a model for the figure of Mary shows Giulio Romano at work to define a pose from life, with special concentration on the contours of the left arm and leg. |
