Fine Red Chalk Male Nude Set in Gilt Frame

Figure Study in Red Chalk – After Rubens Mid to Late 20th Century, Continental School A finely executed red chalk figure study depicting a muscular male nude in dynamic pose, inspired by the anatomical sketches of Peter Paul Rubens. The drawing demonstrates strong academic draughtsmanship and a clear interest in classical form and movement.
