Study for a Prometheus Bound, Salvator Rosa
A muscular male nude twists upward across a pale sheet, one arm stretched high and the other bent behind his head, rendered in brown ink and graphite. Faint sketched outlines of a winged creature and a head appear at the left and right edges, suggesting studies made beside the central figure.
