Male Nude Seated on the Ground is a 1702 chalk by Louis de Boullogne the Younger, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a bare-chested man sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out. His arms rest on his knees, and his head is tilted slightly to the side. The background is a plain blue-gray color, and the drawing is made with quick, sketchy lines. The artist used only black and white chalks on blue paper, which makes the figure stand out against the background. The lines are loose and expressive, not overly detailed. Next, look up Baroque to see more art from this dramatic, movement-filled style.
Louis de Boullogne the Younger (1700–1705) was an artist.
