Schets van vechtende figuren 17th century

This 17th-century drawing by Italian Baroque artist Andrea Sacchi, titled "Schets van vechtende figuren", is a study of figures in motion. The red chalk sketch depicts a scene of battle, capturing the dynamic energy of fighting figures in a loose, gestural style. This preliminary study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely served as a preparation for a larger painting, highlighting Sacchi's masterful approach to composition and anatomical detail.
