Mandlig model hvilende på venstre knæ 1755 - 1759

"Mandlig model hvilende på venstre knæ" (Male Model Resting on his Left Knee) is a red chalk drawing by the Danish artist Isak Henningsen, dating from 1755-1759. The drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, showcases Henningsen's mastery of anatomical detail as it captures the human form with a sense of realism and volume. The piece, characteristic of his style, exemplifies the academic approach to art prevalent in the 18th century. The drawing's emphasis on the human figure and its anatomical accuracy makes it a valuable example of the study of anatomy in art during this period.
