The artwork, titled “Seated Male Nude,” was created by the renowned artist Andy Warhol between the years 1955 and 1956. Executed using pen, the piece is associated with the Pop Art movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, a male figure is depicted seated, with distinct emphasis on the contours and features of the body using simple, clean lines. The figure is minimally rendered, with attention directed to the form’s proportions and posture. The facial expression appears serene, complemented by delicately drawn eyebrows and a hint of a smile. The simplicity of line work focuses on the natural human form, embodying both candidness and a subtle sense of intimacy. The portrayal demonstrates Warhol’s early talent in capturing human essence with minimalistic yet expressive strokes, characteristic of his broader work in Pop Art.
