A Man Seated on the Edge of a Table
18th century
Location: not on view
Description
Known for his red chalk studies of cavalry men, this work is characteristic of Parrocel’s drawn oeuvre. Casually seated at the edge of a table with his arms crossed, the man gently smirks at something he sees. His costume suggests that he is a soldier, who has discarded his hat and weapon while he rests from his arduous labor.- {{cite web|title=A Man Seated on the Edge of a Table|url=false|author=Charles Parrocel|year=18th century|access-date=28 March 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
