Zittend mannelijk naakt met opgetrokken been 1664 - 1730

This drawing by Dutch artist Jan Hoogsaat, created between 1664 and 1730, depicts a seated male nude figure. Hoogsaat was known for his skillful rendering of the human form, and this study showcases his meticulous attention to detail in capturing the anatomical structure of the body. The drawing's simple composition and the artist's use of subtle shading create a sense of realism and depth, allowing the viewer to appreciate the nuances of the figure's posture and musculature. This type of study, typical of the Dutch Golden Age, served as practice for larger, more elaborate artworks.
