Mannelijk naakt, zittend, achterovergeleund 1736

"Mannelijk naakt, zittend, achterovergeleund" (Male Nude, Seated, Leaning Back) is a 1736 drawing by Dutch artist Louis Fabritius Dubourg. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a nude male figure reclining with his left arm resting on a rock and his right leg extended. This study, executed in brown ink, exemplifies Dubourg's mastery of anatomy and attention to detail. The precise rendering of the body and the subtle shading create a sense of realism and a captivating portrait of the human form.
