Reclining Nude 

"Reclining Nude" is a charcoal drawing by American artist John Singer Sargent, known for his masterful portraits and figure studies. The piece, now held at the Fogg Museum (Harvard Art Museums), showcases Sargent's signature use of loose, expressive strokes to capture the form of a reclining male nude. The artist's depiction of the figure's anatomy is both realistic and subtly stylized, highlighting the natural beauty of the human form. Sargent's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, further enhancing the dynamism of the pose.
