Not on display

The drawing depicts a female figure standing on a pedestal. She wears a floating cloak and holds a crown in her left hand. On the right part of the same sheet, there is a fragment of a light sketch for the same or a similar figure. This drawing was made in Madrid between 1650–1700. It is probably a figure for some royal feasts.
