Stående kriger 1717 - 1776

"Stående kriger" (Standing Warrior) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Jacques François Joseph Saly, created between 1717 and 1776. The drawing depicts a warrior in a classical pose, holding a sword and wearing a helmet and armor. The work is a testament to Saly's skill in capturing the human form, and it exhibits a keen understanding of anatomy and form. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark. This detailed study of a warrior, likely intended for a larger sculpture, is a fine example of Saly’s work in drawing.
