Zittend mannelijk naakt, het hoofd op de knie 1809

"Zittend mannelijk naakt, het hoofd op de knie" (Seated Male Nude, Head on Knee) is a red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Jacob Willemz. de Vos, created in 1809. This study of the human form showcases de Vos's mastery of anatomical detail, capturing the contours and musculature of the male figure with precision. The subject sits with his head resting on his knee, creating a pose both contemplative and introspective. The subtle shading and hatchings enhance the sense of volume and depth, characteristic of de Vos's draftsmanship. This artwork is an example of academic art and a valuable study for artists interested in figure drawing.
