Male Nude in Toga, 1919, Charcoal on Laid Paper, Figure Study Sheet

Charcoal on laid paper, c. 1910s–1920s.

A full-length figure study of a male nude in a raised-arm pose, likely holding a vessel. Light gesture work and firm contouring define musculature beneath a draped cloth. The drawing evokes Greco-Roman influences with its upright stance and compositional symmetry.

Signed 'FR Clarke' in upper right; paper with period-typical creasing and watermarks.
