It analyses a drawing by Francisco Rizi (Madrid, 1614- Escorial, 1685) in the British Museum depicting a sculptural group and fragments of an architectural framework and relates it to two other drawings by the sa*e artist in the National Library of Spain. They are identified as fragments of the design drawing of the for*er altarpiece of the Expectant Virgin in the church of the Calced Trinitarians in Madrid.
