Female Figure

1769. White chalk, Black chalk on green paper.
Not on display

The drawing depicts a seated female figure in left profile with a foreshortened head as seen from below. The study of the cloak is very thorough, but the rest of the figure’s body is barely sketched. It is a preparatory drawing for the figure corresponding to the work on the Ascension in the Church of San Pascual in Aranjuez, painted alongside its related episodes (Annunciation, Nativity and Pentecost) in 1769 which are no longer extant. The sketch of this canvas is kept under the number P002490.
