Zittend mannelijk naakt met roeispaan Possibly 1814

"Zittend mannelijk naakt met roeispaan" (Sitting Male Nude with Oar) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Johan Christiaan Willem Safft, dated 1814. This academic study, likely drawn from life, depicts a nude male figure in a seated pose holding an oar. The subject's relaxed yet slightly pensive expression and well-defined musculature reveal Safft's mastery of anatomical detail and his meticulous rendering of the human form. The work showcases Safft's skill in capturing the naturalism of the human body, typical of Neoclassical artistic traditions prevalent in the early 19th century.
