Male Nude Posing for Figures in the "Frise de la Guerre"

Eugène Delacroix, c. 1835

The image displays a pencil drawing of a male figure in multiple poses on textured paper. On the left, the man is seated, leaning slightly forward with his right hand on his left knee. His head is turned to the side, revealing detailed muscular arms and back. His hair is swept back, and facial features are not fully drawn. On the right, the man is shown from a different angle, focusing on his upper body. His face in profile shows closed eyes and full lips. His right arm is raised, bent at the elbow as he holds his head, emphasizing arm and chest musculature. The figure is unclothed, and the background is plain, highlighting the male anatomy.
