The painting is called Hector Posing Nude by Ferdinand Hodler. It was created in 1901. The artist used graphite on wove paper, and the work is squared, which means it was prepared for transfer to another surface. This suggests the artist planned to create a larger or more detailed version of the work. Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington to learn more about this piece.
