Left Arm of a Hunter n.d.

"Left Arm of a Hunter" is a red chalk drawing on paper by Bernard Baron, a French artist active during the 18th century. This study, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, shows the artist's keen attention to anatomy and detail, focusing on the musculature of the arm. The drawing's simplicity and emphasis on form are characteristic of academic studies from the period. The inscription in the lower right corner of the artwork is the artist's signature.
