Madrid, 1831 - Roma, 1910
See author's fileThis previously unknown preparatory study differs in numerous ways from the final work (P4669). In the definitive version Lorenzo Vallés retained the principal figure’s pose, characterisation and the effects of light on the floor and curtain but reversed the positions of the bed and the courtiers, depicting the latter with more pronounced gestures and replacing one with a cleric.
