St. Benedict Gesturing to the Left: Study for the Coronation of the Virgin
A red chalk study on pale paper shows a bearded, elderly man in a loose, draped robe, head slightly turned, his left arm extended to the viewer's right with a hand pointing. Soft hatching and wash shade the folds, and the sheet is framed by a thin ruled border.
