Catalogue Note

Goelman writes:

During the 1860s and early 1870s, Raphael painted mostly genre scenes, portraits and a limited number of landscapes, acquiring favourable mentions in the press regularly. However, throughout the depression years of 1873 to 1878, it was his... ability to capture sitters' likenesses freehand or from photographs that provided Raphael with many opportunities not available to his contemporaries.
