Edward Hopper

(Standing Male Nude, Rear View)
1920–1925

A detailed red chalk drawing on tan paper depicting the back view of a standing male figure, possibly a study for a classical or renaissance-style artwork. The figure's musculature and contours are carefully rendered, with particular attention to the back, buttocks, and legs. The figure's right arm is raised and appears to be holding a staff or spear.
