Nøgen ung mand, stående på en båd 1808 - 1889

"Nøgen ung mand, stående på en båd" (Naked young man standing on a boat), an 1808-1889 etching by Danish artist Erling Eckersberg, depicts a nude male figure standing on a boat holding an oar. Eckersberg's precise line work emphasizes the anatomy of the subject and highlights the contrast between the figure's solid form and the delicate, gestural quality of the boat, creating a sense of tension and balance. The work, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Eckersberg's mastery of anatomical drawing and his interest in the portrayal of the human form in movement.
