Statue d’Alexandre et Bucéphale

Hubert Robert, probablement vers 1754/1765

This is a drawing of a muscular nude figure holding a cloth in a dynamic pose. The drawing captures the essence of movement and muscle tension. The sketch is done in pencil or charcoal, evident from the various shades of grey and the use of line to convey form and depth. This composition suggests a classical theme with a focus on the human form, emphasizing anatomy and the natural flow of the human body. The loose lines and shading give a sense of fluidity and energy to the figure.
