Standing Female Figure with Large Medallion 1695 - 1705

This drawing by Spanish artist Pedro Duque Cornejo depicts a standing female figure, likely a classical goddess, holding a large medallion. The artwork, created between 1695-1705, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the figure's form and drapery through a series of delicate lines. The loose and flowing lines of the figure's drapery create a sense of movement, which further enhances the composition of the artwork. The figure's pose and the detail of the medallion are a testament to Cornejo's mastery of classical artistic traditions, making this a significant work from his artistic career. This piece is a study for a larger composition and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
