Nude male profile 1860

"Nude male profile" is a drawing by Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny Marsal, created in 1860. This artwork depicts a nude male figure standing in profile, with his hand resting on his hip. The artist's masterful use of line and shading creates a lifelike depiction of the male form, highlighting the anatomical details and the figure's musculature. The simple composition and the emphasis on the figure's form are characteristic of academic art, a dominant style in the 19th century, with a focus on classical ideals of beauty and anatomical accuracy.
