An original c.1818 engraving print Kneeling Figure of a Youth c.1503, Raphael Facsimile.
This early 19th-century crayon manner etching is a facsimile print after a drawing by Raphael (c.1502–3) now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. The figure was initialled interpreted as St Stephen but is now generally thought that the drawing may be a study for a female figure, possibly Mary Magdalene.
On paper, trimmed and laid down on backing paper.
An associated inscription (see photo) gives the provenance of this drawing, given to Mary Twopenny by her cousin David at Little Casterton in 1832. David Twopenny, commoner at Oriel College, Oxford and lifelong Vicar of Stockbury in Kent, was a collector of art (a sale of his collection at Christie’s included an extensive collection of fine engravings after Turner).
