Lot Essay

This presumably dates from circa 1656 when Rosa was preparing his Figurine etchings. Comparable studies which although similar to the etchings are not directly related to the prints are in the British Museum, Leipzig, formerly with Galerie Bassenge and elsewhere, M. Mahoney, The Drawings of Salvator Rosa, New York and London, 1977, nos. 46.1-22, illustrated
