Staand mannelijk naakt, leunend tegen een blok 1765 - 1781

"Staand mannelijk naakt, leunend tegen een blok" (Standing Male Nude Leaning Against a Block) is a charcoal drawing created by the Swiss artist Jean Grandjean between 1765 and 1781. The drawing depicts a male nude in a contrapposto pose, his left arm raised high, his right hand resting on a partially draped block. Grandjean's meticulous attention to detail and understanding of anatomy is evident in the lifelike rendering of the figure's form. This study is a testament to the artist's mastery of the human form and his role as a skilled draftsman, demonstrating his talent for capturing the body's natural movements.
