Study of a Male Nude 1839

This delicate pencil drawing by Christen Købke, titled "Study of a Male Nude", depicts a reclining male figure in a classically inspired pose. Created in 1839, the artwork reflects Købke's interest in the human form and his skill in capturing subtle anatomical details. The artist's use of subtle shading and linework gives the figure a sense of volume and realism, characteristic of the Neoclassical style.
