About this work

This drawing shows a man sitting half-naked. His ribs and spine cast sharp shadows. The artist used quick, nervous lines to capture his pose. This isn’t just practice. It shows how artists learned anatomy long ago. The skull resting beside him adds a quiet reminder of life’s short span. Check out the artist’s other work at the Museum of Ethnography.
