The Immaculate Conception

XVIII century. Red chalk.
Not on display

This drawing’s composition is framed within a semi-circular arch, as if it were intended for an altar painting.

The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception is depicted frontally, standing on the crescent moon with her hands clasped together. In the upper register, God the Father appears with his arms opened; below are naked child angels.
