Male Figure Seen from Behind 1600 - 1613

Alessandro Maganza’s *Male Figure Seen from Behind*, a 17th-century drawing, is a study of the human form. The figure is rendered in brown ink on paper, with visible underdrawing, and appears to be moving in a dynamic pose. Created between 1600 and 1613, this drawing is a fine example of the Italian Renaissance's focus on anatomy and the depiction of human movement. This drawing is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
