Study of a Male Nude

Britische Grafik 1851–1867, circa 1852

The artwork depicts a male nude figure lying on his back. The man's entire body is visible, with his head slightly tilted to the side. He has long, dark hair that cascades over his shoulders. His right arm is bent with the hand resting near his chest, while his left arm lies extended on the surface. The skin tones are rendered with shading to emphasize the muscle definition. The background is minimal, with a neutral tone.
