Figure painting from the Intermediate Painting program at the Florence Academy of Art. The artist is believed to be a top student work. Purchased in 2010 in Philadelphia and then newly framed.

This painting is an academic study of a male nude, created at the Florence Academy of Art (FAA), where students are required to paint multiple nude figures to master anatomy, weight, and flesh tones.

Subject: A standing male figure with long hair, holding a staff. This pose is a traditional "académie"- a life study used in classical training to capture the human physique with precision and grace.

Style: It follows the classical-realist tradition, focusing on line, value, and a convincing sense of reality through the coordination of the figure and its environment.

Institutional Context: The Florence Academy of Art emphasizes the methods of 19th-century European art academies.

Measures 17 1/2" wide, 1 3/8" deep and 23 3/8" tall. See less
