Male Nude Model 1912

Wilhelm Lehmbruck's "Male Nude Model" is a pencil drawing from 1912, depicting a standing nude male figure. Lehmbruck's art was known for its elongated proportions, emphasizing the figure's form with simplified details, evident in the delicate yet strong lines of this drawing. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner, along with the date. This study for a larger work is a testament to Lehmbruck's exploration of the human form, demonstrating his mastery of line and form in capturing the essence of the figure. The piece is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
