"Combat of Naked Men" is a dynamic black and white drawing by the French artist Jean Mignon, depicting a chaotic fight scene. The artist, who lived a short but prolific life from 1535 to 1555, skillfully uses hatching and cross-hatching to render the intricate details of the muscular bodies of the men engaged in violent struggle. The drawing is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
