The title points to a design drawing for a mural, and the word "slender" may describe a tall, narrow figure or form. Preparatory drawings like this were how artists worked out composition, proportion, and detail before committing to costly materials. For religious commissions, such a drawing was often a full-size or scaled guide. In stained glass, it was traced onto glass and cut to fit the lead lines, while a mural design might be transferred to wet plaster. Surviving drawings like this give a direct view of an artist's planning.
