Record Type	Correspondence
Title	Letter from William Russell to Charles Ruland about a Raphael drawing in very poor condition which he has sent to him, and also sending two drawings by Giovanni da Udine.
Date	29 June 1860
Writer	Russell, William; art collector, Accountant General of the Court of Chancery
Addressee	Ruland, Charles; Librarian to the Prince Consort
Description	Russell remarks that he is 'almost ashamed' to send a drawing in such bad condition for the Prince Consort to see, but thinks 'the poor rag of Tapestry' is still redolent of Raphael, particularly the Amorino in the composition. He does not see anything of Giovanni da Udine in it, and sends two examples of his work to show the difference. Russell is presumably referring to the cartoon mentioned in VIC/ADDA10/85/121, perhaps a design for a tapestry.
