This is a preparatory drawing for the figure in the lower-central part of the fresco The Miracle or Accusation of Saint Casilda, located in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. One preparatory sketch can be found in Toledo Cathedral and another in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza. The Museo del Prado keeps other related drawings for the same fresco.

The figure is depicted standing, turned to the right of the drawing, and wrapped in a large cloak with both hands outstretched.
