This drawing by Italian Mannerist artist Cigoli, also known as Ludovico Cardi (1559-1613), depicts a standing male figure holding a sword. The work is likely a study for a larger painting or sculpture. The figure is drawn with precise anatomical detail, and the artist has employed a grid to help him achieve accurate proportions. This drawing is a testament to Cigoli's skill as a draftsman, demonstrating his mastery of anatomical accuracy and his interest in the human form. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
