Charcoal Drawing of Male Nude – French Academic Study, Atelier Roustan, 1900

Description:

A refined academic study of the male nude rendered in charcoal, signed and dated from the Atelier Roustan in Toulon, France. The figure’s soft contrapposto stance and downward gaze are captured with precise anatomical proportion and subtle tonal gradation — hallmarks of early 20th-century French academic training. The faint presence of a seated figure in the background adds depth and context to the studio environment. A rare and evocative piece of traditional figure drawing from a rigorously trained eye.
