Studies of a Seated Nude Male Figure 1597 - 1607

Giulio Cesare Procaccini's "Studies of a Seated Nude Male Figure" is a graphite drawing from 1597-1607, which shows a seated male figure. The drawing shows a male nude in a seated pose, with the upper body twisted and the left arm extending out. The drawing is a study for a larger composition, and it demonstrates Procaccini's skill in capturing the human form. This drawing is an example of the artist's preparatory work and is a testament to the artist's dedication to the process of creating art. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
