Marcantonio Raimondi i modi

I modi was a book that contained engravings of sexual scenes.^[1] The book was created around 1524 - 1527. The engravings were created by Marcantonio Raimondi^[1] and based on paintings by Giulio Romano.

Jean-Frédéric Waldeck came across a series of engravings of the "I modi" images^[2] that contained either Marcantonio's original engravings or a close copy.^[2] It presently remains unknown as to what series of engravings that Waldeck saw.^[2]

This drawing in pen and ink has been copied from one of these engravings.^[3][1][2] It was drawn by Waldeck prior to 1853.^[1]

Waldeck also reproduced these engravings in a series of twenty brush drawings in the 19th century.^[2][4][3][1]

This pen and ink drawing was not apart of this series of 20 brush drawings.^[1]
