Statue of a Male Nude with Hand on Hip

Hubert Robert

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a full-length male figure. The man is standing with his body turned slightly to the side, his right hand resting on his hip, and his left arm extended slightly downward. His head is facing forward, with basic outlines for facial features, including eyes, nose, and mouth. The hair is short and roughly sketched. The figure is depicted nude, emphasizing muscular details on the torso and legs, without any clothing or jewelry. The background is plain with no context, and there are a few lines at the bottom of the drawing.
