Liggend mannelijk naakt, de armen naar achteren en het rechterbeen opgetild Possibly 1793

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen (1742-1819), possibly dated to 1793, depicts a reclining male nude with his arms raised behind him and one leg extended. The detailed rendering of the figure's anatomy and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume demonstrate Andriessen's skill in anatomical study and drawing. The drawing is a study for a larger work, and its focus on the human form is characteristic of the Neoclassical art movement that emphasized realism and classical ideals. This artwork, titled *Liggend mannelijk naakt, de armen naar achteren en het rechterbeen opgetild,* is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
