Crucified Christ and the Mater Dolorosa

XVIII century. Black chalk on yellow paper.
Not on display

Oval-shaped cut-out drawing. Similar in composition to drawing D3440 but with some variations. The Christ is identical, but the Virgin is standing and the figures in the background are precisely defined as Saint John and the Magdalene in tearful dialogue.
