A RAPHAEL FRESCO. A RAPHAEL FRESCO.

Hogarth, of the Haymarket, has been permitted to exhibit a small portion of a fresco attributed to Raphael, pourtraying a female saint's head, which has been entrusted to him to repair and set in frame. The face is after one of the painter's usually beautiful models, with flowing hair tressed up under the "glory," which tells the divine character of the subject : a fair, delicate face, with the eyes downcast, and remarkable for the exquisite complexion, painted with great firmness and fulness of touch.
