Artist/Creator (1)	Raphael (1483-1520)
Artist/Creator (1).Nationality	Italian
Artist/Creator (1).Role	artist
Title/Caption	Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist; upper left, Study for the Right Arm of the Infant Saint John; upper right, Study for Drapery (recto); Study of a Nude Male Figure (verso)
Date of Work	ca. 1506-1507
Inscription	Annotated in pen and brown ink at lower left of recto:1509 [?]; in pen and lighter brown ink at lower right of recto: 'Raf. d' U[rbin],' but probably cropped by border. Verso is annotated in leadpoint or graphite in 1730s hand at lower left (by Lambert ten Kate Hermansz himself, or by the executor of his sale): 'h. 8 3/4 / g. 6 6 1/4 / H 31.' Basically, these are the dimensions in Dutch, and the collocation numbers (in a similar manner as would be adopted by the Jonathan Richardsons, Sr. and Jr.)Inscription (cont.): Hence, h = hoogte (height) and g=grootte (width), as these measurements otherwise are those of the Raphael drawing in English inches. And, 'H 31' is ten Kate's collocation or portfolio number, as this is exactly that listed in the sale catalogue of ten Kate's collection in June 16, 1732, portfolio H. 31. These inscriptions were entirely misunderstood in Bean 1982, p. 212, cat. no. 210 (' 58 3/4 6 6 1/4 / H 31'). The inscription in pen and brown ink on verso at lower right in 16th century hand, more or less contemporary to Raphael's time: 'Carte del Pe[que].'
