Study for the Standing Virgin in 'The Presentation in the Temple' of the 'Del Pugliese Tabernacle', from the collection of Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.

This drawing and the previous one differ, because here the contours and

shadows are more emphatic and the light-dark contrasts more striking due

to the additional highlighting in white chalk. Both drawings have

‘pentimenti’ (corrections to and variations of components). In the first

drawing we see them in the repeated right hand; in this study they are found

in the heavily applied shading under the left arm, with the cloak held high

and the sketchily added hanging fold.
