Staand mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien c. 1826

"Staand mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien" (Standing Male Nude, Seen from the Back) is a graphite drawing by Alexander Cranendoncq, created around 1826. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a nude male figure standing with his back to the viewer. The drawing is a study of the human form, focusing on the anatomical details of the back and legs. This detailed study of the male form reflects the academic art tradition of the 19th century, where artists emphasized anatomical accuracy and precise rendering. The artist used subtle shading to model the figure, creating a sense of volume and depth.
