Staand mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (2e prijs 1804) Possibly 1804

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Joannes Echarius Carolus Alberti, titled *Staand mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (2e prijs 1804)* (Standing Male Nude, Seen from the Front (2nd Prize 1804)) depicts a nude male figure in a contrapposto pose. The figure appears to be holding an object in his right hand while his left hand is raised above his head. Alberti created the drawing in 1804 as an entry in a competition, likely for a prize related to anatomical study and artistic skill. It is a fine example of the academic art style of the early 19th century.
