The Virgin

1769. Black chalk, White chalk on green paper.
Not on display

This study depicts a standing female figure facing forwards and holding her tunic with both hands. The study of the cloth is very thorough, whereas the figure is only provisionally sketched. This is a preparatory drawing for the corresponding figure in Ascension in the church of the convent of San Pascual in Aranjuez. It was painted in 1769 alongside its accompanying pieces (Annunciation, Birth and Pentecost), which are no longer extant. The sketch for this very same canvas is extant, with the number P002490.
