La Fornarina after Raphael

Another new charcoal drawing taken from Master works from the past. I am really surprised with this one. It reminds me of certain Picasso works.

Raphael was an Italian High Renaissance master and has always been someone I admire particularly his School of Athens.

My drawing comes from La Fornarina which is also known as Portrait of a Young Woman and was painted between 1518 and 1520.

Here is the Wikipedia link to see the original painting.

The woman is identified as the fornarina (bakeress) Margherita Luti, Raphael’s Roman mistress.

  Thank you Linda. I love Picasso but have never drawn anything like him in the past. So I don’t know where this one came from. Best wishes, Robert

It is magic when it happens – good one Robert. Reminds me of Henry Moore as much as Picasso…

Thanks John, I have always been a great fan of Henry Moore. His monumental sculptures and those fabulous drawings…especially the tube tunnel war drawings.
