Zittend mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien (3e prijs 1793) Possibly 1793

This 1793 drawing by Jacob Ernst Marcus, titled "Zittend mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien (3e prijs 1793)," depicts a seated male nude, viewed from behind. The artist's precise rendering of the figure's musculature and anatomical detail reflects the academic tradition of drawing from life. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely served as a study for a larger artwork, demonstrating Marcus's mastery of draftsmanship. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading contribute to a sense of realism and dimensionality.
