Seated Angel

First third of the XVII century. Pencil, Red chalk on yellow paper.
Not on display

The angel is depicted sitting on a cloud, towards the right, while extending his hands in that direction and turning his head to the viewer.

According to Sánchez Cantón, it was made by an anonymous Madrid-born artist around 1650. However, the technique and drawing style are characteristic of Cajés.
