Male Nude is a 1912 by August Macke, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man sitting on the ground, holding his knees to his chest. He's naked, and his body is turned to the right. The artist used dark lines to draw the man's body, and the background is a light brown color. The man's head is bowed, and his eyes are closed. His arms are wrapped around his legs, and his hands are clasped together. The artist used simple lines and shapes to create the man's body, giving the painting a sense of calmness.
