Standing Male Draped Figure With His Hands Raised 1565 - 1571

This drawing, *Standing Male Draped Figure With His Hands Raised,* created by the Italian artist Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo between 1565 and 1571, depicts a male figure in a flowing cloak with his arms raised. The drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a study in anatomy and drapery and displays the artist's skill in depicting the human form. The figure's pose is dynamic and expressive, conveying a sense of movement and emotion. This work is representative of Lomazzo's exploration of classical and Renaissance artistic traditions, with a focus on anatomical realism and the study of the human form.
