Salvator Rosa (Italian, 1615 - 1673) - Woman covering her face. Technique: Dry point etching from copper plate Dimensions: 140x90 mm, with frame 265x180 mm Taken from ”Diverse figure”. Monogrammed on the left and numbered on the right 47 (1656/58). Other: Excellent copper engraving printed on coeval paper, second state. The collection of ”Diverse figures” is undoubtedly Salvador Rosa's most famous graphic work, already considered a model for young artists at the time, and on themes already dealt with by many engravers such as Callot, Della Bella and Liagno. A letter to his friend Ricciardi dated 1656 allows us to date this series of stickers with certainty. There are 61 models of engravings subsequently brought to 72. ASORstudio
