Although of rather small dimensions, the two drawings displaying distinctive morphology rank among the most frequently exhibited and published Platzer’s works on paper.

The figure of Immaculata is enclosed and firm along the lines of Classicism, while the drapery “moves on its own surf of the flickering tips”.
