Nude Man Seated and Nude Man Standing, with a Woman and Baby in the Background is a 1646 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two naked men—one sitting, one standing—with their backs to each other. Behind them, a woman holds a baby while a ship sits in the distance. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The artist used shading to show muscle and skin texture, making the figures look real. The background is fuzzy, so your eyes focus on the men up front. Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with acid and needles.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
