This charcoal drawing by Peter Paul Rubens, entitled "Psyche", depicts a nude male figure in a dynamic pose, leaning forward with one arm extended overhead. The artist’s masterful use of line and shading highlights the figure's musculature and form, characteristic of Rubens's highly detailed and dramatic style. The study of the human form, particularly the male nude, played a significant role in the development of Western art, and Rubens's drawings were highly sought after for their anatomical accuracy and artistic virtuosity.
