Mannelijk naakt, van voren 1848 - 1927

"Mannelijk naakt, van voren" is a life drawing of a nude male figure by Dutch artist August Allebé. Created between 1848 and 1927, the drawing is a study in anatomical accuracy and is executed in a realistic style using graphite on paper. The figure's pose is dynamic, showcasing the muscles and contours of the body with subtle shading. This drawing demonstrates Allebé's mastery of figure drawing, which was a crucial part of his artistic practice. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's process of capturing the human form.
