Nicola D'Inverno 1879

"Nicola D'Inverno," an 1879 charcoal drawing by the American artist John Singer Sargent, depicts a nude male figure lying on a bed. The subject's relaxed pose, with his head resting on his arm and his legs slightly bent, showcases Sargent's mastery of anatomical detail and the human form. This drawing is a testament to Sargent's early development as an artist, reflecting his interest in life drawing and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of the human body. It serves as a study of the male figure, offering a glimpse into Sargent's artistic process and his commitment to realism.
