Staand mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien Possibly 1813

Johannes Joseph Maria Watrin's "Staand mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien" (Standing Male Nude, Seen from the Back) is a charcoal drawing from possibly 1813. The drawing depicts a nude male figure seen from behind, standing with his right arm raised. Watrin's work demonstrates his skill in rendering the human form with anatomical precision. This piece, likely a study for a larger composition, reflects the artistic practice of the time where artists often utilized live models to achieve a realistic depiction of the human body. The drawing showcases Watrin's mastery of charcoal, creating a sense of depth and volume through subtle gradations of shading.
