Artist's Impression 1 is an exemplar of classical nude male figure drawing. The study in charcoal and pencil offers a focused view of the male figure from the back. Emphasis has been given to both delicate hatch lines and firm markings that combine into a textural feel. Expert shading completes the work with values that range from light to dark. A Belgique-Antwerpen deckle frame boldly completes the picture.
