Gilles-Antoine Demarteau after Carle Van Loo

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a nude male figure in an artistic pose. He is standing with his legs crossed, weight on his back leg, front leg bent. His torso twists to the right, arms extended forward and angled leftward. His head is tilted slightly back and turned towards his left shoulder. The man has strong facial features and an intense expression, wavy hair falling around his head. The background has evenly spaced lines creating a textured effect, in warm sepia shades. No clothing, jewelry, or additional objects are present.
