This fine early 20th-century drawing of a male nude is skilfully observed with particular attention to the musculature. The model holds an interesting pose that’s perhaps ‘contrapposto’, where the weight rests on one leg.

Details of the artist have been lost over time but it’s probably an academic study.

Framed and glazed.
