Studie van een vallend mannelijk naakt 1587 - 1660

This charcoal drawing by Italian Baroque artist Giacomo Cavedone, created between 1587 and 1660, depicts a study of a falling male nude. The artist utilizes the technique of chiaroscuro to capture the anatomical detail of the nude’s body with strong contrasts between light and shadow. Cavedone was known for his dynamic compositions and expressive figures, which were often used as preparatory studies for larger paintings. This study provides a glimpse into the artist's working process and showcases his mastery of figure drawing.
