About this work

The painting shows three studies of a male torso and a portrait on the back. These studies are interesting because they show the artist's focus on form and shape. The different sizes and placements of the torsos create a sense of balance. Check out the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how artists create shading and depth in their work.
