The drawing depicts a nude man sitting on the ground, with his knees bent and his arms resting on them. The man has short, curly hair and his head is bowed down. His body is muscular and his facial features are obscured. The man has large wings protruding from his back. The drawing, titled Male Academy with Wings, is rendered in reddish-brown pencil on beige paper with visible pencil strokes and shading, creating a sense of depth and texture. The work is by French artist François Boucher.
