Naakte man 1705 - 1754

Jacob de Wit's "Naakte man" is a detailed drawing of a nude male figure, completed sometime between 1705 and 1754. The artwork depicts a seated man with his left arm resting on his knee, while his right arm is folded across his chest. The artist's meticulous attention to anatomical detail and the use of cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of volume and depth, characteristic of de Wit's drawings. This drawing exemplifies the Dutch artist's focus on the study of human anatomy and the pursuit of realism in his artwork.
