Zusammengesunken sitzender männlicher Akt nach rechts, mit wenigstens einer Assistenzfigur 

This drawing in the Städel Museum, by Parmigianino, presents a slumped male nude with at least one other figure sketched around him. The composition is striking for its arrangement of forms and delicate use of line. The body appears to be giving way to gravity, with the head bowed and limbs drawn inward. Parmigianino's draftsmanship here is both precise and fluid; the contours of the figure are defined by the careful placement of lines, while the shading suggests volume and depth. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates an interesting interplay of light and shadow. The addition of other figures around the central nude challenges a fixed reading. The nude's posture hints at vulnerability, questioning conventional Renaissance ideals of the body and beauty, whilst challenging our expectations with its stark and honest depiction of human form. This interplay between form and expression leaves the drawing open to interpretation, inviting us to consider themes of mortality and the transient nature of existence.
