This is a preparatory drawing for the figure in the midground of the central register of the fresco Miracle, or the Accusation of Saint Casilda, in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. A preparatory drawing is kept in Toledo Cathedral and another in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza. The Museo del Prado keeps other related drawings for the same fresco. This work depicts the figure standing, with his head and body facing towards the right and with his left hand closed and covering his mouth.
