Mandlig knælende modelfigur, profil til venstre 1804

This academic study, "Mandlig knælende modelfigur, profil til venstre", was created in 1804 by Danish artist Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg. A prominent figure in the Golden Age of Danish art, Eckersberg's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of anatomy are evident in the study's realistic depiction of the male figure. The drawing, executed in graphite, captures the form and posture of a nude male model in a simplified yet detailed way. The artist's use of light and shadow contributes to a sense of volume and realism, making the drawing a powerful testament to Eckersberg's talent as a draftsman and his commitment to the study of the human form.
