# Studies of figures and architecture [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RAFFAELLO Sanzio]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Pen and ink, brush and ink wash on paper, 268 x 346 mm ## Commentary The sheet is a series of forms, reports and values set out on different interpretation levels. An initial level, iconographic in nature, focuses above all on the charming female figure, seated and leaning on a kind of parapet. This is accompanied by a study of angels for the fresco with God Appears to Noah in the vault of the Stanza di Eliodoro in the Vatican, together with architectural sketches. These latter sketches have been attributed to the studies that Raphael was carrying out in Rome, since taking charge of building St Peter's \(1 April 1514\). ## Related artworks - [A Group of Nude Men]() - [A Group of Warriors]() - [A nude man advancing to the right \(verso\)]() - [A Soldier before the Cell of St Peter]() - [A Youthful Warrior \(recto\)]() - [Adam and Eve \(ceiling panel\)]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aldobrandini Madonna \(Garvagh Madonna\)]() - [Allegory \(The Knight's Dream\)]() - [Amorini at play \(verso\)]() - [An Angel]() - [Angel \(fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
