This charcoal study, "Etude pour Saint Jean-Baptiste" by Henri Leopold Lévy, captures a powerful and dynamic pose of a nude, bearded man. The figure's outstretched arm and twisting torso suggest a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Lévy's style. The artist's focus on anatomical detail and expressive lines showcase his talent for depicting the human form with striking realism, hinting at the larger work this study was intended for.
