Study of standing male nude

Artist: De Morgan, Evelyn

Nude life study of a male figure. Evelyn De Morgan (née Pickering). Circa 1893. Charcoal on fawn wove paper. Whilst the Foundation owns nearly one thousand drawings by Evelyn De Morgan, very few entirely nude studies remain. This study concentrates in particular on the muscular form of the model’s arms and legs. The drawing is signed ‘E Pickering, 5 July 1893’.
