The Transfiguration of Christ
Mid-XVIIIcentury. Red chalk on dark yellow paper.Not on display
In the lower part, sitting on the ground in different attitudes, the three apostles; at the top, Jesus Christ accompanied by two prophets. The drawing is not original, but tracing someone else´s sanguine. Derives in his technique from the artists of neoclassicism, such as Pompeo Batoni or Anton Raphael Mengs.
