Standing Male Nude Seen from Behind

Pietro Faccini

National Gallery of Art

The image features a full-length drawing of a male figure viewed from the side. The man's pose is a three-quarter turn, with his weight on one leg and the other leg slightly bent. His facial features are defined, with a prominent nose and a strong jawline, and his hair is short and neatly styled. The man's body appears mostly nude, with drapery covering his back. There is no visible jewelry, and he is not holding any objects. The background is plain.
