Zittend mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (1e prijs 1807) Possibly 1807

This charcoal drawing by Johan Christiaan Willem Safft, titled "Zittend mannelijk naakt, van voren gezien (1e prijs 1807)", depicts a nude male figure seated in a contemplative pose, resting his head on his hand. Created in 1807, the artwork demonstrates Safft’s mastery of anatomy and chiaroscuro, evident in the detailed depiction of the model's musculature and the interplay of light and shadow. This study of the human form highlights the artist's interest in classical ideals of beauty and proportion, typical of the Neoclassical art movement.
