Striding Man

Nicolaus Beatrizet after Michelangelo

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a muscular, bearded man standing with his head slightly tilted downward and arms crossed over his chest. He has sharply defined facial features, a prominent nose, intense gaze, and a long beard. He is wearing a helmet with a pointed top and draped in a cloth that partially covers his body, leaving his broad chest, arms, and muscular legs exposed. The background is blank.
