Standing male nude 1855

Otto Scholderer's "Standing male nude" (1855) is a graphite drawing that depicts a standing male figure in a realistic style. The artwork's focus on the human form, specifically the male nude, was a popular subject for artists in the 19th century, and Scholderer's meticulous depiction of anatomy and form demonstrates the influence of classical art. The drawing, which is housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies academic realism through its detailed rendering of muscle structure and the overall naturalism of the figure.
