Group of Warriors Standing 1471 - 1535

"Group of Warriors Standing" is a silverpoint drawing by Pietro Perugino, completed between 1471 and 1535. The drawing, which is now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features four figures, likely representing soldiers or warriors, clad in armor and standing in a group. Perugino's meticulous attention to detail and the realistic depiction of the figures' armor and weapons suggest a study for a larger composition, potentially a fresco or an altarpiece. The silverpoint medium lends a subtle yet distinct tonal quality to the drawing, highlighting the forms and textures of the figures.
