"Ung mand stående med en stav" is a graphite drawing by Agostino Melissi, dating back to 1615-1683. This drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a standing nude male figure holding a staff. The artwork is a study of the human form, a common theme in Renaissance and Baroque art. Melissi's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the rendering of the muscles and contours of the body, exemplifies the Italian artist's mastery of anatomical drawing.
