The Marys

First half of the XVII century. Pencil, Grey-brown wash on yellow paper.
Not on display

It is in fact a variant of another drawing by the artist, with a slight modification to the postures of the figures. In this work, Mary Magdalen opens her arms, while the other saintly women join their own respective hands with sorrowful gestures. However, their gazes converge towards the right where Christ should be present.

The fact that this composition is gridded and D2109 is not suggests that it was considered a final drawing.
