Naked man with spear 1860

This charcoal drawing by Mariano Fortuny Marsal from 1860 depicts a nude male figure standing with a spear in his right hand. The figure's musculature is realistically rendered, and the artist's mastery of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume. This study of the human form demonstrates Fortuny's artistic skill and his interest in classical and Renaissance art. The drawing, likely created as an academic exercise, showcases the artist's anatomical knowledge and his ability to capture the nuances of the human body.
