1902
unspecified
From the collection of Harvard Art Museums
Standing Male Nude with Raised Right Arm Seen from Behind is a 1902 unspecified by John Singer Sargent, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Harvard Art Museums.
This painting shows a man from behind, standing with his right arm raised. He's naked, and his body is turned slightly to the left. The artist used dark lines and shading to show the shape of his muscles. The man's head is tilted back, and his left arm is down by his side. The background of the painting is a light color, which makes the man's body stand out. The artist used a lot of detail to show the shape of the man's muscles and the way his skin folds. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
