"Study for 'The Knight's Dream'" is a small egg tempera painting by Raphael from the High Renaissance period, created around 1503–1504. It depicts a visionary scene inspired by the allegorical Dream of Scipio, featuring symbolic figures and a mystical atmosphere. This work likely served as a Sketch and study for a larger composition and pairs with the "Three Graces" panel, both measuring 17 cm square. Currently housed in the National Gallery in London, it demonstrates Raphael's masterful use of color and composition during the High Renaissance.
