We report the calculation of electromagnetic form factors of nucleons within a relativistic three-quark model with Gaussian shape for the nucleon-quark vertex. The allowed region for two adjustable parameters, the range parameter N in the Gaussian and the constituent quark mass m q , is obtained from tting the data for magnetic moments and electromagnetic radii of nucleons. The shapes of electric and magnetic nucleon form factors calculated in this approach with the central parameters m q =420 MeV and N =1.25 GeV are close to the data for momentum transfers 0 Q 2 1 GeV 2 .
