Mannelijk naakt, knielend, met stok, naar links 1726

This 1726 drawing by Louis Fabritius Dubourg depicts a male nude kneeling with a staff. The precise hatching of the red chalk creates a sense of volume and depth, highlighting the anatomical details of the figure's musculature. The pose, reminiscent of classical sculpture, underscores the artist's interest in the human form and his mastery of draftsmanship. This study, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Dubourg's artistic process and his contribution to the tradition of academic art.
