About this work

This etching depicts a nude man reclining on a couch, with his right arm resting on the back of the couch and his left arm hanging over the side. His legs are splayed out in front of him, with his right leg bent at the knee. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his body is rendered in bold, expressive lines. The couch appears to be upholstered in a dark-colored fabric, and the background of the image is a light-colored wall. The overall effect of the etching is one of intimacy and vulnerability, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment. The etching technique used in this piece is reminiscent of the work of artist Lucian Freud.
