"Banditti Taking His Post" is a drawing by British artist John Hamilton Mortimer, created between 1780 and 1800. The drawing depicts a bandit, dressed in armor and holding a spear, sitting on a rocky outcrop, looking out towards a distant scene. The drawing is a study for a larger composition and demonstrates Mortimer’s skill at depicting the human figure with dramatic realism. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
