A warrior shown from behind holding a staff and leaning on a rock, from the series 'Figurine' 1651 - 1661

"A warrior shown from behind holding a staff and leaning on a rock, from the series 'Figurine'" is an etching by the Italian artist Salvator Rosa, dated 1651–1661. It depicts a warrior, seen from the back, leaning against a rock and holding a staff. The etching is part of a series of drawings and prints titled "Figurine", which are known for their dynamic poses and expressive use of line. This etching's style is characterized by its use of cross-hatching to create tonal contrasts, resulting in a powerful and dramatic composition, and its focus on the warrior's posture showcases Rosa's skill in capturing the human form in motion.
