Male Academy

François-Nicolas Chifflart

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a nude male figure standing with his arms raised above his head. He has a relaxed stance with legs slightly crossed and a contemplative expression. His face is softly defined with curly hair. The background has a textured, cross-hatched pattern that accentuates the figure's body. A small lightly sketched male face is to the left of the main figure. The setting is minimal with no additional objects.
