Classical Nudes 1814 - 1815

"Classical Nudes" (1814-1815) is a study by Théodore Géricault of the human form. The drawing features two figures: a male nude on the left, kneeling in a pose that emphasizes the musculature of the back and legs, and a male nude on the right, seated and reaching out. The work is a testament to Géricault's interest in the human body, which he sought to portray in detail and realism. It is known for its strong lines and shading, characteristic of Géricault's style.
