Man Striding with Right Arm Outstretched 1656 - 1657

This etching, created by Italian artist Salvator Rosa in 1656-1657, depicts a single figure in profile, striding with his right arm outstretched. The figure is clad in clothing typical of the period, with a hooded cloak and loose trousers, suggesting a commoner or traveler. Rosa's signature style of detailed hatching and cross-hatching is evident in the depiction of the figure's form and fabric textures. This work exemplifies the artist's mastery of drawing and his interest in capturing the human form in motion.
