About this work
A kneeling male nude is shown from the side and largely from the back. The body is compactly folded, with the head bowed and the arms held close to the upper body. Warm flesh and earth tones contrast with loosely applied blue accents in the background, while the texture of the linen remains a visible part of the composition.
