'Fossombrone sketchbook'. Folio 80v, Upper Section (78B)

From the studio of Raphael


This drawing had three layers placed over the top of it.[1] This grey scale print is what lies underneath these three layers.[1]

The first layer was a "bluish-grey gouache".[1]

Then "A bramble-thicket" of black ink was placed on top of the drawing with a broad nib.[1]

Some areas then further had plain water or dark brown ink placed over them.[1] This then soaked through into other leaves that were below this leaf in the sketchbook.[1]


This drawing is one of two drawings in the Fossombrone sketchbook that show a sexual scene.[1][2]

One idea is that these two drawings were copied from "I modi" engravings."[1]

Another idea that has been speculated is that they show "...independant permutations and variations on sexual motifs perhaps from an antique source, perhaps invented in Raphael's studio."[1]Further that "...these drawings while fascinatingly similar to the Modi, differ even more significantly from anything in the visual remains of those prints, as well as from each other in composition and perhaps graphic style."

It was further commented that these two drawings "...allow the Modi to be understood as emrging from a collective enterprise, rather than as unique orignary models."[1]
