This etching by the Italian artist Salvator Rosa, created sometime during his lifetime (1615-1673), showcases his distinctive style. "A warrior sits on a block and gestures; two figures are behind him" is a characteristic example from his *Figurine* series, featuring expressive figures in dramatic poses. The warrior, dressed in armor, dramatically points with his right hand, possibly gesturing towards something unseen in the background. The dynamic composition and the use of hatching contribute to the expressive and dramatic quality of this work, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
