Saint John the Baptist

XVII century. Grey-brown wash, Pencil on yellow paper.
Not on display

The saint is depicted half kneeling to the right next to a large rock with his hands together and his gaze raised. A lamb is by his side. This drawing has a landscape background with trees.

The attribution to Coello seems untenable.
