Figure Held Captive

Not on display

This is a preparatory drawing for the figure in the lower-right corner of the fresco Miracle, or Accusation of Saint Casilda, in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. One preparatory sketch is kept in Toledo Cathedral and another in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza. The Museo del Prado keeps other related drawings for the same fresco. The drawing depicts a figure lying on the ground, with his head tilted to the right and leaning on his left hand.
