Male Figure Drawing in Vintage Italian Frame

Contemporary drawing in vintage frame. This is an original (no print) small graphite drawing of a male figure on white paper, framed in a vintage wooden frame made in Florence, Italy by a Florentine framer in the 1980s.

Since the frame was made in the 1980s, if you really want to, you can find scratches on the wood and glass. I really liked the fasteners of this frame. There is also a ring for hanging the frame with the picture on the wall. Unfortunately, this frame does not have a support leg to put it on a horizontal surface.

The drawing of the male figure (back view) is not vintage. It was created by me especially for this lovely frame. The figure in the drawing is standing, revealing the muscles of the man's back and his gluteus maximus.

This small graphite drawing is also my attempt to show the relativity of straight lines. Even thought there is not a single straight line in a human body, this drawing is created by applying only straight lines.

All beautiful shapes of the human body are curved, fluid, when one shape extends the roundness of another shape. And still, in academic painting and drawing technique we do use straight lines to create rounded forms of the body.

This small drawing is a clear example of the fact that there is nothing straight in the human body and in the male figure in particular. Artistically speaking.
