Staand mannelijk naakt, voor een boom 1763 - 1800

"Staand mannelijk naakt, voor een boom" (Standing Male Nude, in front of a tree) is a black and white drawing by Dutch artist Jacobus Johannes Lauwers, created between 1763 and 1800. The work depicts a nude male figure standing in front of a tree, with his hand on his head. He is pierced by several arrows, suggesting a mythological or allegorical theme. Lauwers, known for his detailed anatomical studies, meticulously rendered the figure’s musculature and form, demonstrating a mastery of academic drawing techniques. This artwork, like many of his works, showcases the artist's skill in creating realistic and engaging depictions of the human body.
