Early 20th Academic Male Nude Terracotta Sculpture Studio Sketch

Preparatory terracotta model depicting a male nude. Early 20th century.
Hand-modeled with great refinement, it certainly belonged to a sculptor's workshop, as the reference points and measuring tapes used to transfer the models to a larger material such as marble, stone, or bronze are still visible. The figure features a particularly complex twist, requiring great skill to create.
