Lot 236 After Raphael (Italian, 1483–1520), 'The Madonna of the Pinks'

A framed colour print after the original oil on yew wood panel by Raphael, titled ‘The Madonna of the Pinks’ (La Madonna dei Garofani), painted circa 1506–1507. The composition depicts the Virgin Mary and the infant Christ exchanging small pink carnations, a symbol of the Passion. The figures are set against a dark interior, with a window to the right revealing a distant landscape featuring architectural ruins. The print is presented within a wide cream-toned mat and is housed in a modern silver-toned frame under glass. No signatures, dates, or inscriptions are visible on the front of the work.
