A Seated Man Nude and then Clothed

Gustav Heinrich Naeke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated nude male figure. He is sitting on the floor with his legs folded beneath him, hands clasped together, and head turned to the side. The man's facial features are in profile, with a defined cheekbone and chin. His hair is short and neatly trimmed. Next to him is a detailed drawing of an upper torso clothed in a loose-fitting, long-sleeved garment with folds and creases, but missing a head or face. The background is a plain, neutral tone.
