The Immaculate Conception
XVIII century. Grey-brown wash, Pencil ground, Pencil.Not on display
This drawing depicts the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception standing on the crescent moon and stepping on the serpent. Her hands are clasped together and her head raised. At her feet, there are two children playing and two kneeling figures, one of whom holds a child in her arms.
The drawing is of poor quality: it may be a copy of or inspired by a Bolognese model.
