About this work

This print shows a soft, flowing line drawing of two women in fine clothes. Their faces and hands are delicate, with gentle shadows. The artist's hand feels close — you can almost see the sketch lines. Raphael made this during his late years, when he drew more than he painted. He loved studying how fabrics fold and faces change. It’s not a finished work, just a quick study full of life. Check out another Raphael sketch at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
