After Salvator Rosa
(1615-1673)
A study of a beggar with a staff, kneeling near a rock, inscribed "Salvator Rosa", pen and brown ink, on laid paper, 17 x 12 cm, mounted, framed, (Sch)
Provenance:
Collection Ludwig Pollak (1868-1943), Lugt 788b;
Private collection, Italy.
The present drawing is related to the series of etchings called “Figurine”, which the artist executed between 1653 and 1658. The figure of the beggar, kneeling in front of a rock is an identical repetition after Rosa’s etching (c. 1656-57, 14,5 x 9,5 cm), cf. The Illustrated Bartsch, No. 288.69; Richard W. Wallace, The etchings of Salvator Rosa, Princeton University Press 1979, No. 68. II. The preliminary study of the etching is published in: Michael Mahoney, The Drawings of Salvator Rosa, New York 1977, fig. 45.25A.
