About the artwork
Salvator Rosa is the artist behind "Man Standing, with Arm Raised, Pointing Toward the Left", dated 1656 - 1657. Context for 1656 - 1657: In Japan the Edo period began in 1603, and in China the Qing dynasty took power in 1644, both bringing new patrons and styles. In the Dutch Republic, a prosperous middle-class market supported landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and scenes of daily life painted at a modest scale for the home. It is listed in the Drawings collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Drawings, a short history: Artists have long used drawings to plan paintings, sculptures, and buildings, so a sketch can show how an idea developed. Drawings range from quick preparatory sketches to finished works in pen, chalk, charcoal, graphite, or wash.
"Man Standing, with Arm Raised, Pointing Toward the Left" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
