A man seen from the rear points to the right c. 1662

This pen-and-ink drawing by Italian artist Salvator Rosa, created around 1662, depicts a man seen from behind, clad in a flowing cloak. The figure's pose, pointing to the right, suggests a narrative element, though the context of the gesture remains unclear. Rosa, known for his dramatic landscapes and figures, employed a loose, expressive style in this drawing, emphasizing the figure's form and the movement of the drapery. The artwork, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the artist's process of capturing human form and gesture.
