A Standing Man in Classical Drapery 1544 - 1549

"A Standing Man in Classical Drapery" is a 16th-century drawing by the Italian artist Girolamo Muziano. The drawing, done in black chalk on paper, depicts a standing man in a toga, rendered with meticulous detail. The figure is subtly modeled with light and shadow, highlighting the folds of the drapery and the anatomy of the body. The drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, possibly a religious scene, and exemplifies Muziano's skill in drawing from life and his ability to convey both anatomical accuracy and a sense of movement in his figures.
