Homme de dos 1893 - 1896

"Homme de dos" is a charcoal drawing created by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes between 1893 and 1896. The work depicts a nude male figure standing from the back, his body rendered in careful detail. The figure's posture and the way his weight is distributed suggest a sense of quiet contemplation, adding an element of introspection to the otherwise simple composition. This drawing exemplifies Puvis de Chavannes's distinct style, characterized by its refined lines and evocative use of light and shadow.
