Standing Draped Man [recto]

Jacopo da Empoli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body sketch of a person viewed from the back. The person is standing, with their left leg slightly forward and their right hip jutting to the side. Their head is turned to the left, giving a partial view of their profile. Their facial features are minimally detailed, with a hint of their cheek and nose visible. Their hair appears short and somewhat curly. They are wearing a long garment draped over their body, resembling a robe or cloak, hanging loosely with folds visible around their shoulders and legs. The person is not visibly holding any objects or wearing jewelry. The background is plain and minimal, with no distinct objects or scenery, emphasizing the figure.
