This nude study of a man by German artist, Christian Landenburger (1862-1927) is skilfully observed and rendered with a masterful touch.

In 1920, when this was produced, Landenburger was employed as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Stuttgart so we can assume that the drawing was probably undertaken there.

Note the use of light and shade on the model’s back to capture every undulation.

Signed in the lower right and framed/glazed.
