Subject: One of the great classical artists, Pierre-Paul Prud'hon was a French Romantic painter who had a great influence on future artists, as well as myself. This study of an original drawing by the master is done with with deep precision and care to capture Prud'hon's beautiful technique of line drawing and composition. The cool sea blue background contrasts nicely against the alabaster youth, creating a remarkable statuesque quality. At the same time there is a sensitivity in the pose that makes the lanquid young man all to human. Shipping: This is an original work of art and will be treated as such.
