Saint Casilda

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

This is a preparatory drawing for the main figure in the central part of the fresco of the Charity of Saint Casilda in the cloister of Toledo Cathedral. It depicts the figure standing and in right profile. The study of the clothing is very thorough while the figure is barely sketched. Two preparatory sketches for the fresco are extant: one in Toledo Cathedral and the other (sepia) in the Ena Collection in Zaragoza. The Museo del Prado keeps several related drawings for the same fresco.
