About this work

This finished academy study by Giacomo Zoboli shows a seated male nude seen from behind, his body turned toward the viewer's left with one leg extended over a stone ledge. The figure is rendered in black chalk with white highlights on a toned brown paper ground, emphasizing musculature and the modeling of the back, arms, and legs.
