The Virgin of Mercy

XVIII century. Black chalk on laid paper.
Not on display

This is a paper formerly folded in two parts, incorporating the drawing D00651, since they were both two ideas for the same print. The Virgin appears in more than half-length, facing forwards with her left hand on her breast and raising her scapular with her right hand. There are cherub heads around her. The drawing under discussion is made with black pencil. Its companion, The Virgin of Mount Carmel (D000651), is in pen and brown wash. Both have a watermark of a flower vase and are cut, forming part of the same number in the inventory of the Fernández Durán Bequest, F.D. 1102.
