Standing Roman Warrior Holding Staff n.d.

"Standing Roman Warrior Holding Staff" is an anonymous drawing from the 17th century. The drawing, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a Roman warrior in full regalia, standing in a relaxed pose. The warrior is holding a staff with his right hand and his left hand is on his hip. The artist's detailed attention to the warrior's anatomy and clothing suggests a study for a larger work, potentially a painting or sculpture. The drawing's precise dating and attribution remain unknown.
