Moorish Figure

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

This is a preparatory drawing for the figure in the central-left register of the fresco Miracle, or Accusation of Saint Casilda, in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. One preparatory sketch is kept at Toledo Cathedral and another in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza. The museum keeps other related drawings for the same fresco. The figure is depicted standing, facing the front, with his left hand resting on his waist and his right arm outstretched. The study of the costume is very thorough.
