This is a drawing by French artist Louis Chéron (1660-1725), depicting a male nude kneeling beside an open hearth, with a helmet and metal gloves on the floor. The subject appears to be a blacksmith, as he is positioned beside a working furnace and his tools are scattered around him. This drawing is a study in chiaroscuro, utilizing contrasting values of light and shadow to create a sense of volume and depth. The artist's keen attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of the male nude and the tools, is a testament to his mastery of figurative and anatomical studies.
