Seated Nude Young Man in Nearly Frontal View, ca. 1618, Modified black chalk (dipped in a gum solution), traces of white gouache highlights, on light brown paper., sheet: 23 x 16-7/16 in. (58.4 x 41.8 cm), Drawings, Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) (Italian, Cento 1591–1666 Bologna), A new addition to Guercino’s youthful corpus, this powerful, boldly rendered study after the male nude model is an impressive early example of his practice of life drawing, and can be precisely associated with a small but surprisingly homogeneous group of life drawings dating around 1618-1621, that is, before Guercino's two-year sojourn in Rome
