Staand mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien (2e prijs 1774) Possibly 1774

"Staand mannelijk naakt, op de rug gezien (2e prijs 1774)" is a charcoal drawing by Abraham Pietersz. Hulk, possibly dated 1774. The drawing, which measures 513 mm x 319 mm, depicts a nude male figure from the back, showcasing Hulk’s mastery of anatomy and form. The artist’s careful rendering of the figure’s musculature and posture suggests a study of classical sculpture, which was a key influence on Dutch art in the 18th century. The work likely served as a preparatory study for a larger painting or sculpture. The inscription "Studium / Fra. mannen / Abraham Hulk / 1774" in the upper left corner indicates that this drawing was a study for a painting of a man, likely a figure study.
