Stående mandlig model, set fra ryggen, stav i ventre hånd, højre arm og ben afskåret 1875

"Stående mandlig model, set fra ryggen, stav i ventre hånd, højre arm og ben afskåret," is a graphite drawing by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, completed in 1875. The artwork, currently located in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts a nude male figure from the back, holding a staff in his left hand. The composition, truncated at the right arm and leg, emphasizes the anatomical study of the human form, a common practice in art academies of the time. This life study demonstrates Skovgaard's interest in depicting the natural world with precision and detail, a hallmark of his artistic style.
