Seated Male Nude [recto] is a 1601 ink by Agostino Carracci, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man sitting on the ground, his body twisted to the right. He's naked, with his left leg bent up and his right leg stretched out. His left arm is extended, holding something, while his right arm rests on his knee. The drawing is done in brown ink on laid paper, with bold lines and expressive strokes. The artist has captured the man's pose and movement with great energy and fluidity. If you're interested in seeing more works like this, check out the Baroque movement.
