Male Figure

1776. White chalk, Red chalk on dark toned paper.
Not on display

This is a preparatory drawing for a male figure for the lower-left corner of the fresco of the Predication of Saint Eugene in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral, painted in 1776. Two preparatory sketches for the fresco are extant: one kept in Toledo Cathedral and the other in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza. The figure is depicted standing with his back turned. His head is turned to the left and his right arm outstretched in a pointing gesture. The study of the clothing is very thorough.
