Study of a Seated Nude Male 

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, a leading figure of Neoclassicism, was renowned for his meticulous linework and precise anatomical studies. This pencil drawing showcases his mastery of the human form, rendering a seated male nude with detailed attention to musculature and proportion. The study likely served as preparatory work for a larger painting or sculpture, exemplifying Ingres's dedication to anatomical accuracy and his contribution to the revival of classical art principles in 19th-century France.
