Dominant colour
Portrait of Raffaello Sanzio di Urbino is a 1650 by Wenceslaus Hollar, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a man with a beard and long hair, wearing a dark robe over a white shirt. He is shown from the chest up, with his right hand resting on a surface in front of him. The background is a dark curtain, with a lighter-colored wall visible behind it. The man's facial expression is neutral, and he looks directly at the viewer. His clothing and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This portrait is a fine example of the work of Hollar, Wenceslaus.
A print on paper by Wenceslaus Hollar from 1650 depicts a self-portrait of Raffaello Sanzio di Urbino, inscribed with the title "RAPHAEL D' URBIN."
