Staand mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (2e prijs 1816) Possibly 1816

Johannes Donker's "Staand mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (2e prijs 1816)," a study of a male nude, is a red chalk drawing dated to 1816. It demonstrates Donker's mastery of anatomical detail and skillful use of light and shadow to create a realistic and expressive depiction of the human form. The model's relaxed pose and subtle gesture create a sense of naturalism that was characteristic of Neoclassical art in the 19th century. This drawing, likely a study for a larger work, offers a glimpse into Donker's artistic process and his pursuit of anatomical accuracy in his figurative work.
