The Immaculate Conception
1719. Pencil, Ink, Pencil ground, Squared-up on paper.Not on display
Nothing is known of the artist bearing this name who signed this drawing in 1719. It is a gridded and shaded drawing in soft black pencil. The Virgin appears upright on the crescent moon, above clouds and cherubim. The Holy Spirit is above her and more cherubim flank her sides. It is a drawing of an entirely 17th-century character, in the tradition of Rizi-Claudio Coello.
