Liggend mannelijk naakt, naar rechts en steunend op de armen 1664 - 1730

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan Hoogsaat depicts a reclining nude male figure. Executed between 1664 and 1730, the work showcases Hoogsaat's mastery of anatomy and the human form, a common subject within his artistic oeuvre. The figure's relaxed pose and detailed musculature suggest a study for a larger composition, possibly a painting or sculpture. The simplicity of the composition and the artist's use of light and shadow create a sense of realism and depth, highlighting the figure's natural form. This drawing is a testament to Hoogsaat's artistic skill and the enduring power of the human figure in art.
