Male figure

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

A male figure stands in profile to the right and assumes a begging posture. This is a preparatory drawing for a figure in the oil sketch Pentecost in a private collection in Madrid, corresponding to the canvas bearing the same title in the church of San Pascual in Aranjuez. It was painted in 1769 alongside its accompanying pieces (Annunciation, Birth and Ascension), which are no longer extant.
