Studies of a Seated Female, Child's Head, and Three Studies of a Baby

Raphael

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch on a piece of paper with a light-brown color and visible signs of aging. The sketch features a seated female figure on the left, turned to the right; she has short hair and appears to be topless, with her left arm resting across her body. Her lower body is covered. To her right is a large head of a man. There are four smaller sketches on the bottom of the paper. On the bottom-left is a reclining baby; to its right is another baby reclining on its back with one arm raised. On the bottom-right is a baby sitting with both arms raised. The background of the sketch paper shows some pencil marks to indicate the composition. The paper has a rough texture and is bordered by a beige background.
