Episode in the Life of a Saint
Second half of the XVIII century. White chalk, Black chalk on pink paper.Not on display
Inside a prison, two young men in Muslim dress hold up a book and rebuke the saint, who, seated on a chair, opens her arms and turns her gaze towards a kneeler with an image of the crucifix. Angels and a blaze of glory look down from above. There is another sketch for the same composition in D000686, D003798 and D003743.
