Nude Male Figure in Profile / Saint Sebastian (?)
XVII century. Red chalk on laid paper.Not on display
The drawing depicts a naked man in profile. He is tied to a trunk with one knee on the ground and his arms raised.
On the verso, there is another study that was drawn with a thick pen and ink wash for another figure in the same pose. This drawing clearly depicts Saint Sebastian.
The drawing is difficult to classify; likely, it could even be Italian.
