French School, 18th century. Drawing of a reclining man.
This 18th-century drawing depicts a male academy drawing executed in sanguine, illustrating an in-depth study of the male nude.
The model, lying in a complex pose, testifies to a profound exploration of movement and bodily tension. The artist demonstrates an excellent mastery of human anatomy: muscular masses are rendered with precision, the transitions between light and shadow are handled with subtlety, and the body's modeling is achieved through a dense and nuanced network of hatching. The treatment of the torso, in particular, reveals a careful observation of the live model and a pursuit of idealization inherited from classical statuary.
