Study of a Young Male Nude Seated 18th-19th century

This red chalk drawing by Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, an Italian artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, depicts a study of a young male nude seated. The figure is rendered in a loose and gestural style, capturing the artist’s rapid observation of the model. The artist’s signature can be seen in the bottom left corner of the sheet, and the artist’s name and birth and death dates are also included in the metadata. The drawing’s small size suggests it was likely created as a preparatory study for a larger work, reflecting the artist’s focus on anatomical detail and the human form.
