Zittend mannelijk naakt, van opzij gezien (1e prijs 1788) Possibly 1788

This 1788 drawing by Dutch artist Bartholomeus Ziesenis depicts a seated male nude from a side view. The work is characteristic of academic drawing in its focus on anatomy and the realistic depiction of the figure. The delicate shading and use of red chalk contribute to the naturalism of the work and the artist's precise rendering of the body. The inscription, "Primum Praemium B. W. Ziesenis 1788" indicates that the drawing won a prize, highlighting the artist's skill in depicting the human figure.
