Zittend mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (2e prijs 1808) Possibly 1808

"Zittend mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (2e prijs 1808)" (Seated Male Nude, Seen from the Front (2nd Prize 1808)) is a graphite drawing by Jean Augustin Daiwaille, dating back to 1808. It depicts a seated nude male figure, rendered in realistic detail, showcasing Daiwaille's mastery of anatomy. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the Neoclassical style prevalent in the early 19th century. The figure's pose and the careful rendering of the musculature reflect the influence of classical sculpture.
