Studie af liggende mandlig model 1860 - 1864

"Studie af liggende mandlig model" is a graphite drawing by Danish artist Theodor Philipsen, completed between 1860 and 1864. It is a study of a reclining male nude, executed with precise detail and sensitive shading. The elongated proportions and the figure's relaxed pose demonstrate Philipsen's early interest in anatomical study and the human form. The drawing, now held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow. This work serves as an example of Philipsen's academic training and his development as a realist artist.
