There are remains of a printed paper with antique Gothic text at the edges possibly from a prior wrapping that was never completely removed. See photos for more details. Possibly some trimming at the sides and top as handled over the years with the work probably meant to be a round image. Size: 32 by 28 in. (80 x 70 cm.) Framing: Sold unframed Note: A typical Madonna of the era of Raphael The pose seen here, with crossed hands, is not common and speaks to an independent work by a skilled artist. The skillfully painted hands are not often seen in work by inferior artists and copyists.
