Male Nude

August Macke

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned painting of a seated nude man. The man is sitting on a surface that appears to be a chair or bench with his legs stretched out in front of him. He has short, dark hair and is positioned with his body facing right, head slightly bowed, and his hands clasped around his right knee. His left leg is bent at the knee. The background is a solid sepia tone with some darker lines suggesting shadows or the outline of the chair. The artist's signature "a m 1912" is visible in the bottom-right corner.
