Raphael Adjusts Fornarina’s Hair Before Painting her Portrait is a 1824 oil by Marie-Philippe Coupin de La Couperie, depicting Raphael, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a man and woman in a room with a table, a chair, and a painting on an easel. The woman is wearing a long, flowing dress and has a headband on her head. The man is standing next to her, touching her hair. He is wearing a dark-colored shirt and pants. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow coming from the left side of the painting. The colors used are muted, with shades of brown, beige, and pink dominating the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet intimacy, with the man and woman seemingly lost in their own little world. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human emotion and interaction.
