Naked boy with spear 

This charcoal sketch by Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny Marsal depicts a young, nude male figure holding a spear. The figure stands in a contrapposto pose, with his weight shifted onto one leg and his body tilted slightly. Fortuny was a celebrated painter and draftsman whose work often featured themes of classical mythology and history. This study, though incomplete, demonstrates Fortuny's skilled use of charcoal to capture the form and movement of the human body. It serves as a testament to his interest in the human figure, a recurring subject in his artistic output.
