Zittend mannelijk naakt, naar rechts 1664 - 1730

This drawing, "Zittend mannelijk naakt, naar rechts," by Dutch artist Jan Hoogsaat, is a study of a seated nude male figure. Created between 1664 and 1730, the artwork exemplifies the meticulous attention to anatomical detail common in the Baroque period. The figure is depicted in a relaxed pose, pointing with his right hand. Hoogsaat, known for his skill in portraying human anatomy, expertly captures the contours of the body, creating a sense of realism and life. The drawing's simplicity, emphasizing form and line, makes it an excellent example of a preparatory study for a larger work. This drawing, though not a finished work, highlights Hoogsaat's mastery of anatomical drawing and is an important study for understanding his artistic process.
