Standing Male Nude 1800 - 1822

This anonymous 19th century drawing, "Standing Male Nude," depicts a life-size, anatomically detailed nude male figure, likely a study for a larger work. It was created during a period when anatomical precision was highly valued, and the figure's muscular structure is meticulously rendered. This study can be viewed as a testament to the artist's skill and knowledge of the human form. The drawing's delicate lines and shading add to its artistic merit, making it a fascinating example of the study of the human figure in 19th century art. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
