Wrestler 1900

Alphonse Mucha’s “Wrestler” (1900) is a charcoal drawing of a figure in motion. A wrestler is depicted in a dynamic pose, with his body contorted in a powerful and expressive gesture. The background is filled with a swirling mass of figures, suggesting the energy and chaos of a wrestling match. Mucha, best known for his Art Nouveau style, used a dynamic and expressive line to capture the movement and energy of the scene. The work is now located at the Mucha Museum in Prague, Czech Republic.
