Studies of a Man’s Head in Profile, and of a Standing Male Figure 

This sheet of studies by Salvator Rosa, a prominent Italian Baroque artist, showcases his skill in capturing the human form. The drawing features multiple studies of a man's head in profile, a recurring motif in Rosa's work. The artist's energetic and expressive lines, characteristic of his style, convey a sense of movement and life. The composition, characterized by loose and gestural strokes, suggests an emphasis on the act of observation and experimentation rather than a finished piece. These studies provide valuable insights into Rosa's creative process, offering a glimpse into his working methods.
