IMAGE number: COU5948345
Image title: Design for a title page with two saints on pedestals and an imaginary Spanish coat of arms, 17th century (traces of black chalk, pen & brown ink, and brown wash, with brown ink framing lines, on laid paper, now laid down on Japanese tissue)
Artist: Cano, Alonso (1601-67) / Spanish
Location: The Courtauld, London (Samuel Courtauld Trust)
Medium: traces of black chalk, pen and brown ink, and brown wash, with brown ink framing lines, on laid paper, now laid down on Japanese tissue
Dimensions: 17.5x12.3 cms

Image description: Formerly attributed to Pedro de Moya (1610-74). This design is closely related to the title page of Vida y martirio de san Euphrasio by Don Antonio Terrones y Robles (Granada, 1657). The two standing saints are identified as Euphrasius and Potenciana, whilst the coat of arms held by two putti is unknown. The carefully graded applications of the wash, meticulously applied within the contour lines, are typical of Canos finished drawings.
