"A Swiss Guard" is a drawing by Italian Mannerist artist Federico Zuccaro, created between 1571 and 1635. The artwork depicts a Swiss guard standing in a formal pose, holding a halberd and a helmet. This detailed drawing, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies Zuccaro's skill in capturing the human form and the intricacies of costume. The gridded background suggests the use of a drawing tool common in Mannerist art, highlighting the artist's meticulous approach to composition and detail.
