Seated and Standing Male Nudes, after photographs by Eugène Durieu
Eugène Delacroix|Eugène Durieu
1855 · Graphite · Drawings and Prints
In 1854 Delacroix collaborated with amateur photographer Eugène Durieu to produce a series of photographs of nude models, which served as portable sources for the study of the human form. This sheet combines figures from two of the photographs. The artist builds up the form through short hatching strokes and juxtaposing planes.
