A Young Man in Armor, Facing Front 1420 - 1430

"A Young Man in Armor, Facing Front" is a 15th century drawing on paper by Arcangelo di Cola da Camerino, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The drawing, measuring 6 13/16 x 5 1/4 inches, portrays a young man in armor, standing with his hands clasped before him. The figure is drawn in a simple, direct style, with minimal detail. The drawing's rough and unfinished appearance suggests that it may have been a preparatory sketch for a larger work.
