Crippled man

1787 - 1791. White chalk, Black chalk on dark toned paper.
Not on display

This is a preparatory drawing for the main figure of the crippled man in the central part of the composition of The Altarpiece of Saint Peter in chapel of San Pedro in Toledo Cathedral. Two preparatory sketches are extant: one in a private collection and the other in Toledo Cathedral. The Museo del Prado keeps several related preparatory drawings for the same canvas. The figure is depicted seated with his right arm raised and his left arm leaning on a crutch. The study of the nude and the cloth covering the central part of the body is very thorough.
