The Apparition of the Virgin and Child to a Saint

XVIII century. Grey-brown wash, Pencil on laid paper.
Not on display

This drawing depicts the Virgin perched on a cloud before a kneeler. She appears in an evident mystical levitation. The saint turns her face towards the seated Virgin who shows her the Christ Child playing on her lap. Below the Virgin, two child angels play with the world. Others flutter amongst the clouds.

It is by the same hand as D001957 and is probably also Valencian.
