Typhon

1764. White chalk, Black chalk on green paper.
Not on display

The subject appears falling towards the ground, on which he leans his right foot. The rendering of the mantle is very thorough, and the figure is only provisionally sketched. This is a preparatory drawing for the corresponding figure in the lower-central part of The Fall of the Giants. The figure corresponds not to the final version, but rather to the preparatory sketch in the Museo del Prado (P00604).
