Description
After Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian, 1475-1564) Seated Male Nude (Ignudo)
Antique academic drawing on paper depicting a muscular seated male nude after one of Michelangelo’s celebrated ignudi from the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Executed with refined modelling and precise linear work, the drawing was likely produced as an academic study, reflecting the enduring influence of Michelangelo’s mastery of human anatomy on the training of artists throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
Sheet size: 53 × 40 cm.
Overall good condition with age-related toning, minor foxing, and handling wear consistent with age.
