Ecstasy of Saint Philip Neri

Second half of the XVIII century. Black chalk on white paper.
Not on display

This is a copy of Conca’s canvas of the same subject, which is currently in the Turin Museum. There are no extant variants, and considering the very detailed cross-hatching technique, it seems to be a preparatory drawing for an engraving. It could be a Spanish drawing from 1750-1800.
