Academy of a man 

This is a red chalk drawing by Edgar Degas, depicting a nude male figure in a simple pose. The figure is viewed from behind, with the artist focusing on the anatomical detail of the back and leg. This piece exemplifies Degas's interest in capturing the human form in a natural, unidealized way. Although the date and location of this work are unknown, it was likely created sometime between 1834 and 1917, during Degas’s prolific artistic career.
