Alexander in the Studio of Apelles

Salvator Rosa

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of five individuals around a painting on an easel. The central figure is standing, gesturing towards the painting, with curly hair and draped clothing. Two individuals are partially seated on the left, and two individuals in armor stand and sit on the right. There is a draped curtain in the upper left corner and a blank wall on the right with a Latin inscription at the bottom. A stool is placed below the canvas, and the setting appears to be an artist studio or a creative environment.
