Abstract
Artist of great resources, always appreciated and cited with praise, Claudio Coello (1642-1693) is undoubtedly the great figure of Spanish painting in the second half of the seventeenth century. In this article a group of drawings preserved in the Madrid Casa de la Moneda (Mint) and the Uffizi in Florence are attributed to the painter. Some of them are preparatory studies for secure works. Likewise presented are two unpublished paintings, one of them a splendid portrait of a member of a religious order.

La calidad de las partes señaladas, la técnica, la factura y el hecho de que fray Alonso ocupara el puesto de prior del monasterio en 1690, fechas en las que Claudio Coello se encontraba trabajando en el gran cuadro de La Sagrada Forma para la sacristía de la iglesia73, nos lleva a considerarlo una obra del pintor de cámara del monarca, confiando en que su futura restauración lo confirme
