A Heroic Male Nude 

This is a pen and ink drawing of a heroic male nude by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, who was active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The figure is depicted in a dynamic pose, with his arms crossed and his head tilted back, as if in the midst of a heroic act. Thorvaldsen's drawing is a study for a larger sculpture and is a testament to the artist's mastery of anatomy and his keen eye for capturing human form in a dramatic and expressive way. This is a valuable example of Neoclassical art, drawing from classical sources for inspiration in its depiction of the human body.
