Study of figures

XVII century. Black chalk on laid paper.
Not on display

This drawing depicts six naked figures in various poses which appear to form a complex composition that is difficult to study. In the centre, a standing male figure seems to reject another (probably a female figure) seated pleadingly at his feet.

It is evidently by the same hand as and bears similar characteristics to D000186 even though it is not mentioned by Sánchez Cantón.
