The Immaculate Conception

Ca. 1628. White lead, Grey-brown wash, Black chalk, Squared-up on yellow paper.
Not on display

The Virgin Mary, under the dedication of the Immaculate Conception, is depicted frontally: she is placed over the moon in a contemplative pose. Breaking through in divine glory, she is surrounded by heavenly choirs that take on the form of cherubs and child angels bearing the palm leaf and the flowers in reference to the Marian litanies.

Angulo and Pérez Sánchez (1969) related it to the painting of the Convent of the Augustinians of Monterrey in Salamanca, dated 1628. However, the pictorial work presents some variations with respect to the composition of the Prado drawing.
