Mandlig modelstudie set bagfra 1671 - 1738

"Mandlig modelstudie set bagfra" (Male Model Study Seen from Behind) is a graphite drawing by Hendrik Krock, a Danish artist who lived between 1671 and 1738. This study showcases the artist's meticulous approach to capturing the human form. The artwork, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a male nude viewed from the back, highlighting the contours and musculature of the human body. Krock's study, executed in delicate lines, exemplifies the tradition of anatomical drawing prevalent in the 17th and 18th centuries. This piece serves as a testament to the artist's keen observation and skillful execution of the figure study, a cornerstone of artistic training.
