A Naked Man, Seated, with His Hands Tied is a 1782 ink by John Skippe, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a rough, textured print of a seated man with his hands tied behind his back. His body is hunched forward, and his face is turned slightly away, looking down. The lines are scratchy and uneven, with dark shadows and light patches creating a dramatic effect. The artist used a technique called *chiaroscuro*—strong contrasts between light and dark—to make the figure stand out. The print looks old, with a faded greenish-brown tint.
