Like all academically trained artists of his generation, Edgar Degas developed his draftsmanship through rigorous study of the nude figure, a discipline evident in the confident anatomical control of even his loosest later pastels. This study of a male nude reflects that foundational training, showing Degas working through the structure of the body with careful attention to musculature and pose. Such studies underpin the strong figural drawing that distinguishes Degas's work even at its most experimental.
