Young man seen from behind, face in profile 1520

This pen and ink drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Parmigianino, titled *Young man seen from behind, face in profile*, is a study of the human form. The subject's face is turned in profile, while the rest of the figure is obscured by a cloak. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching of Parmigianino's style create a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the subject's youthful features and graceful posture. Created around 1520, this work is a testament to Parmigianino's artistic genius and skill in representing the human body. The drawing is now located in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, France.
