Tastefully framed art print on canvas of Italian Renaissance artist Raphael's oil "La Donna Velata" (or "La velata"). Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio, 1483-1520) originally finished this painting in 1515 with his mistress, Margherita Luti, as model. It has been claimed as one of the most beautiful portraits he ever created and was passed down through the Botti and Medici families. The light frame around this print has applied coverings in mottled gold and faux wood (an inconspicuous back bottom chip shown) and measures 18" W x 22" H x 1" D with an 11.5" x 15.5" image area under glass. A light impression on the canvas is also shown. Please see photos for more detail.
