Standing Naked African is a 1916 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
The painting depicts a nude African man standing in a room. He has dark skin and short black hair, and his body is turned slightly to the right. The background of the room is a warm yellow color, with a green curtain hanging on the right side. On the left side, there is a drawing of a person wearing a red loincloth. The room's floor is a mix of red, brown, and blue colors, with some green visible in the bottom-left corner. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of simplicity and intimacy. The painting is held at the Munch Museum.
