Nude II

The artwork features a realistic pencil drawing of a muscular man seated in a thoughtful pose, his right arm crossed over his torso while his left arm holds his right elbow. He appears contemplative or introspective, looking directly at the viewer with a slight intensity. The drawing uses soft shading to highlight his toned muscles and facial features, and is presented in a simple light beige color palette. The piece is framed elegantly in white with a black border, emphasizing the classical aesthetic of the figure study.
