Nude Study of an Old Man before 1852

"Nude Study of an Old Man" is a graphite drawing on paper created by the French artist Henri Lehmann before 1852. The drawing depicts an older nude male standing with his arms raised above his head, looking upward. The artist’s use of precise hatching creates a sense of volume and lifelike anatomical detail. It is a study of the human form that showcases Lehmann’s mastery of the medium, and the use of expressive lines to render the subtle features of the human body.
