Two Male Nudes seen from Above

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a heavyset body, possibly including multiple figures. The drawing shows the contours and folds of the skin, focusing on midsections and limbs. There are no facial features visible, and no detailed hair representation. The figures are not wearing clothing, emphasizing the natural lines and creases of the skin. There is no jewelry or objects depicted, and the background is plain, drawing focus solely to the contoured figures.
