Lille badende mand 1881

"Lille badende mand" is an etching created by Danish artist Carl Bloch in 1881. The artwork depicts a single figure, a nude man sitting in a shallow body of water, likely a bath. Bloch, known for his historical and religious paintings, experimented with the medium of etching to explore a more intimate and realistic style. This small-scale print, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Bloch’s ability to capture the human form with subtle detail and emotional depth.
