"Study for Raphael and the Fornarina" is a preparatory work by the French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, created as part of his process in developing a larger, more finished painting. Ingres, renowned for his meticulous technique and fascination with the Italian Renaissance, often explored themes of art history and the lives of great artists in his work. This study reflects his interest in the relationship between the Italian Renaissance master Raphael and his reputed mistress, Margarita Luti, known as La Fornarina.

The study is a testament to Ingres's dedication to draftsmanship and his methodical approach to composition. It likely served as a means for the artist to refine the poses, expressions, and interactions of the figures, as well as to experiment with the arrangement of elements within the scene. Ingres's studies are characterized by their precision and clarity, revealing the artist's process of careful planning before executing his final works.

While the exact date of this study's creation is not specified, it would have been produced during a period when Ingres was actively engaged in historical and mythological subjects, which was a significant portion of his career spanning the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The final painting that resulted from this study would contribute to the narrative of Raphael's life and work, a subject that held great appeal in the Romantic period as artists and audiences alike were captivated by the stories of past masters and their muses.

The "Study for Raphael and the Fornarina" is an important piece within Ingres's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's creative process and his reverence for the art of the Renaissance.
