Studies of a man’s draped waist, and head 

This is a study for a larger artwork by British artist Herbert James Draper. It is a charcoal drawing on paper, focusing on the details of a draped waist and a man’s head. This type of study was common practice for artists in the 19th and 20th centuries, and helped them to perfect their anatomical knowledge and understanding of form. Draper is known for his academic realism and his attention to detail, and this study shows his meticulous approach to drawing. The artist was born in 1864 and died in 1920.
