Two warriors, one holding a sward, the other a halberd; an old brearded man behind them, from Figurine n.d.

"Two warriors, one holding a sword, the other a halberd; an old bearded man behind them" is an etching by Italian Baroque artist Salvator Rosa. Created sometime during his lifetime, 1615-1673, the piece features three figures in dramatic poses, with the two warriors' expressions and stances emphasizing their violent nature. The detailed cross-hatching creates depth and a sense of movement, characteristic of Rosa's style, which blended realism with theatrical elements. The etching is now held in The Art Institute of Chicago, and its small size suggests it might have been a study or preliminary sketch for a larger work.
