Hora and study of a hand

XVIII century. Black chalk, White chalk on green paper.
Not on display

In this drawing, two portrayals can be seen. To the left is a female figure with her back turned, reclining on a cloud. To the right is a right hand in profile with its fingers bent, intended for the reclining figure. This is a preparatory drawing for the corresponding figure in the upper-right part of the cupola interior fresco The Fall of the Giants in the Royal Palace in Madrid.
