Knight in Profile

1779. White chalk, Red chalk on dark toned paper.
Not on display

This is a preparatory drawing for the figure in the central register of the fresco Transfer of the Remains of Saint Eugene in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. The figure is depicted dressed in 16th-century fashion, with his left arm holding a simple stretcher, while in the right hand he carries a slouch hat. The study of the clothing is very thorough. Three preparatory sketches for the fresco are extant: one in Toledo Cathedral, another in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza and a third in a private collection in Madrid. The museum keeps various related drawings.
