Four portraits of artist Raphael, print, Numbered center top: Tab. XV. The portraits are numbered 1-4., printmaker: Michael Wachsmuth, Germany, c. 1760 - c. 1770, paper, etching, height 262 mm x width 208 mm, Person, Raphael, historical persons, portrait, self-portrait of artist, Four oval portraits of long-haired individuals are arranged in a two-by-two grid against a background of closely spaced horizontal lines. Each oval contains a finely detailed, monochrome engraving of a face and upper torso, with varied hairstyles and head coverings; the upper-left and lower-left figures wear soft caps that drape over the back of the head while their hair falls in loose waves, the upper-right figure has a similar cap and wears a fur-trimmed garment, and the lower-right figure has flowing curly hair and a ruffled collar. The faces show neutral expressions with eyes looking slightly to the side, and the shading is composed of delicate cross-hatched lines and stippling that define contours, shadows, and texture throughout the hair, clothing, and facial features. The overall palette is sepia-toned with the engraved lines creating contrast against the lighter oval backgrounds.
