Saint Casilda

1782. White chalk, Black chalk on dark toned paper.
Not on display

This is a preparatory drawing for the main figure in the lower left part of the fresco The Death of Saint Casilda in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. This cathedral keeps a preparatory sketch, which was ultimately not used by the painter. Furthermore, the Museo del Prado also keeps other related drawings for the same sketch. The drawing depicts a figure lying down, with her head back and her right arm extended.
