A Standing Youth Gesturing to His Right
This is a drawing of a nude figure draped with a flowing cloth. The figure is standing on a small patch of ground, with one hand raised and touching a piece of cloth above. The artwork is rendered in monochromatic blue tones, with soft shadows and highlights accentuating the musculature and form of the figure. The background is minimal, focusing attention on the figure.
