MARC ANTONIO RAIMONDI.

793

62. S. Margaret, standing, with a palm in her left hand, and the
Dragon by her side. Bartsch supposes this piece to have been en-
graved from a design of Francia. It is marked with the artist's
cypher, h. 4, 3-8ths: w. 3, l-8th. (B. 118.)

63. S. Lucia, S. Catharine, and S. Barbara. These figures, which
are standing, are represented in three compartments, divided from
each other by a narrow white space. The figures are relieved upon
a dark ground, produced by diagonal hatchings, w. 4, 5-8ths : h. 3:
(B. 120.)

64. The Madonna standing with the Infant in her arms, inscribed at
bottom : virgo virginu ; on the left, Mary Magdalen, holding the vase
of ointment, and covered only with her long hair; inscribed, s. magda-
lena; and on the right, s. maria egiptiaca, who is also represented
naked, with long hair, and holds three small loaves. This print, the
companion to the above, appears to have escaped the notice of
Bartsch. It is probable that Raffaele furnished the designs for
both these pieces, which are engraved with exquisite delicacy:
indeed the naked parts of the figures in that last described are
drawn with a degree of purity and elegance of outline scarcely to
be surpassed, w. 4, 3-4ths : h. 3, 3-8ths.

65. S. Catharine and S. Lucia : graceful standing figures, perhaps
engraved from a design of Francesco Francia. h. 11, l-4th : w. 8,
3-4ths. (B. 121.)

66. S. Veronica, standing with the Sudarium. The ground behind
the figure is white. Bartsch says that this piece is ascribed to Marc'
Antonio, h. 4, 1-half: w. 3. (B. 122.)

Class 3. The small Saints of Marc' Antonio.

67. Christ and the twelve Apostles; standing figures; a set of thir-
teen pieces; most of them bearing the cypher of Marc' Antonio.
h. 3, l-4th: w. 1, 7-8ths. Of this series there appear to exist two
or three sets of old copies. (B. 124—136.)
