Naakte man 1734

"Naakte man" (1734) is an etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart (1673-1733) depicting a nude male figure in a seated pose. The artwork showcases Picart's mastery of anatomical detail, with meticulous rendering of the figure's musculature and form. It is a testament to the artist's interest in classical art and the human body, a recurring theme in his oeuvre. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Picart's contribution to the artistic landscape of the 18th century.
