Reclining male nude 

This charcoal drawing, "Reclining male nude" by Otto Scholderer, showcases a life study of a male figure in a relaxed pose, characteristic of the artist’s academic training. The artist’s skill in capturing the form and anatomy is evident in the detailed depiction of the muscular structure and the delicate lines of the figure's pose, while the subtle shading adds depth and volume to the composition. The drawing is a testament to Scholderer's mastery of academic realism and provides a glimpse into the rigorous training of artists in the 19th century.
