Studieblad met een naakte jonge man en twee oudere mannen c. 1640

"Studie­blad met een naakte jonge man en twee oudere mannen" (Study sheet with a naked young man and two older men) is a c. 1640 drawing by the Monogrammist FP, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing is a study sheet for a larger composition, possibly an altarpiece or a mural. It features a standing nude young man at the center, seemingly drawing a curtain or a cloth, with two seated older men on either side. It demonstrates the artist's interest in anatomy, foreshortening, and light. The artist likely used this study to refine their understanding of human figures before executing the final artwork. The drawing is a good example of the academic approach to figure drawing popular in the 17th century.
