Standing Male Figure
1650
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This drawing shows a nude man from behind, standing sideways with one arm raised. His body is drawn in simple lines, with no background or extra details. The paper has small brown spots scattered across it, and the edges look worn. The artist used light shading to show the shape of his muscles and hair. The lines are clean but not too detailed, keeping it looking like a quick sketch. If you like this style, look up *stippling* next.
