Study for a Raising of Lazarus (recto); half-length study of bearded nude male figure, and a man and woman with donkey (verso) 1615 - 1673

This red chalk drawing by Salvator Rosa, *Study for a Raising of Lazarus (recto); half-length study of bearded nude male figure, and a man and woman with donkey (verso)*, showcases the artist's skill in anatomical study. The recto features a single figure in a dramatic pose, likely a study for a larger composition of the Raising of Lazarus, a popular biblical subject in Baroque art. The verso displays additional studies of figures, further demonstrating Rosa's interest in capturing human form. This drawing, dated 1615-1673, is a testament to Rosa's mastery of draftsmanship and his enduring interest in the human figure.
