This anonymous drawing titled "Spandrel Design for Coronation of Virgin" is a design for a ceiling painting and is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The drawing depicts a scene with a figure seated on a throne, being crowned by an angel, in a semi-circular composition. This is a typical design for a spandrel, which is the area between an arch and the surrounding wall. The drawing is executed in black chalk on paper, suggesting a preliminary stage of the design process. The drawing is a testament to the artistic creativity and the meticulous planning that went into designing ceiling paintings during this period.
