Liggend mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien 1804

"Liggend mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien" (Reclining Male Nude, Seen from the Back) is a red chalk drawing by Jacob Ernst Marcus, created in 1804. The piece depicts a male figure reclining on a textured surface, with the back of the body facing the viewer, and the figure's left arm raised above the head. This type of study is typical of the Neoclassical period, when artists were fascinated by the human form. This drawing is an example of an academic study of the human body. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
