Study of Two Male Figures Fighting c. 17th century

"Study of Two Male Figures Fighting" is a 17th century drawing by Francesco Allegrini, an Italian artist known for his Baroque style. This small drawing, made with brown ink on paper, captures a dynamic moment of two figures locked in a struggle. The loose, gestural lines give the impression of movement and energy, typical of preparatory sketches for larger compositions. The piece exemplifies Allegrini's interest in the human form and his skill in conveying dramatic action, likely made as a study for a larger painting or sculpture.
