During the research process that we have been carrying out for years on the historical and artistic heritage of the Archconfraternity of the Expiración of Malaga, we came across a drawing of a throne of the Virgin in one of the catalogues of the Talleres de Arte Granda available on their website. Some of the processional belongings included caught our attention as we found great similarities with those owned by the corporation. As we were aware of the attempt by the brotherhood at the time to commission a processional throne for its patron saint, we contacted the former archivist of the now defunct Félix Granda Foundation, Emilia González Martín del Río, who confirmed that the original drawing showed the date and destination of the design. The fieldwork carried out previously, backed up by the preserved documentation, confirms the dating of the project and helps us to contextualise the commission, which in the end was not carried out. In this article we will study this project for the Sorrowful Virgin, dated 1943, which was known about through correspondence kept in the archives of the current archconfraternity and which we will expand on thanks to two other sketches sent by those responsible for the documentary collections kept at the headquarters of the Art Workshops. The discovery and study of the sketches represents a new contribution to the knowledge of the company's working process and expands the catalogue of the few pieces dedicated to the procession of Marian images.
