About this work

This painting shows a young male nude. It's a drypoint print, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design into a plate. The scratches hold the ink, creating the image. The artist used simple lines to create this figure, which is interesting because it shows a lot of detail without needing colors. Check out the work of artist: Corinth, Lovis.
