Seated Male Nude [recto] 1600 - 1602

"Seated Male Nude" is a pen and brown ink drawing by Agostino Carracci, created between 1600 and 1602. The artwork depicts a seated nude male figure, likely a study for a larger composition, in a dynamic pose with an outstretched arm. The artist’s use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and depth in the figure. This drawing exemplifies Carracci’s mastery of anatomical accuracy and the depiction of movement in his artwork.
