Nude man standing on a block

Artist: Raphael
Artwork: Nude man standing on a block
Description: This is a preparatory drawing for the painting “The Entombment of Christ” by Raphael. The drawing is in pen and brown ink and is on paper. It is a study of the figure of the man standing on the block. The man is nude and his body is twisted in a way that suggests he is in pain. The drawing is a good example of Raphael’s skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the human form in motion.
