Saint (or the Virgin) in Glory
XVIII century. Black chalk on yellow paper.Not on display
This is a drawing in which the female figure is depicted in right profile, kneeling on clouds with her arms open in supplication. Before her are two cherub heads.
In a style similar to that of Corrado Giaquinto, the drawing may be his or that of one of his Spanish pupils, namely José del Castillo, whom he most often recalls.
