Unter hohen Bäumen ein Zelt, unter welchem Männer und Frauen an einem Tisch eine Mahlzeit einnehmen 

Salvator Rosa created this drawing with pen and brown ink, presenting a scene where figures dine under a tent amidst tall trees. The drawing's formal structure relies heavily on line work to define form and space, creating a dense, almost claustrophobic composition. Notice how the tall trees frame the scene, drawing your eye downward to the figures gathered at the table. Rosa uses hatching and cross-hatching to build up tonal depth, giving the scene a sense of depth and texture. The contrast between the detailed foreground and the hazier background suggests an interest in atmospheric perspective. Rosa’s strategic use of line guides our understanding of depth and form, but it also reflects a broader artistic interest in the relationship between nature and humanity. This interplay invites us to consider the drawing's meaning not just as a depiction of a scene, but as a study in contrasts and visual dynamics.
