Female Figure

1788. White chalk, Pencil on green paper.
Not on display

This is a preparatory drawing for a figure in the fresco The Spanish Monarchy, Protector of the Fine Arts in the Casita del Príncipe (The Prince’s Cottage) in El Pardo Palace. It depicts a female figure seated on a cloud, with her feet resting on a cushion and her right arm raised. The head is in right profile and foreshortened from below. The study of the clothing is very thorough, whereas the figure is barely sketched.
