Man at Arms 1833

"Man at Arms" is a lithograph created by Eugène Delacroix in 1833. The drawing depicts a man in 16th-century dress, holding a sword, his right hand resting on a table. The background is lightly sketched, possibly intended to represent a garden or an open space. Delacroix was a French Romantic painter and lithographer, and his work is known for its dramatic use of color and brushwork. His lithographic style was characterized by bold lines and dramatic shading, as seen in this work. This piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York, NY.
