Study of a Male Nude (verso)

Pierre-Paul Prud'hon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a charcoal drawing of a nude male figure on blue-grey paper. The man is standing on one leg with the other bent in front of him. His arms are raised above his head. The drawing is rendered in shades of grey, with white highlights accentuating the contours of the body. The background of the paper is blue-grey with darker shading behind the figure. There are some yellow-brown spots scattered across the paper. The drawing has a rough, textured edge around the perimeter.
