Madonna with Child with Scenes of the Life of Saint Anne (Pitti Tondo)
A tondo (circular painting) depicting the Madonna and Child with scenes from the life of Saint Anne.
La velata
"The Veiled Woman" - The rich color in the painting suggests Raphael's interest in the colorism of Venice. The identity of the sitter is unknown, though she may be the same woman who appears in the Sistine Madonna and is traditionally identified as Raphael's mistress, known as "La Fornarina."
