Two Men Fighting 1833

Bartolomeo Pinelli’s *Two Men Fighting* is a detailed pen and wash drawing depicting a violent scene between two men. One man is being stabbed in the back by another while a woman stands behind the attacker, holding a dagger. The scene is set in a mountainous landscape, with rocks and trees surrounding the figures. The artist uses the pen and wash medium to achieve a strong sense of realism, allowing the viewer to feel the tension and violence of the scene. Pinelli, who was known for his depictions of Roman life, created this drawing in 1833, shortly before his death.
