Description

This training exercise is thought to have been painted by the young Courbet shortly after his arrival in Paris in 1839. In an era when themes drawn from antiquity and the Bible stood at the head of an established hierarchy of subjects, the successful rendering of the unclothed male body was a benchmark of an artist’s formation. Few such works from Courbet’s earliest years survive, and the origins of this painting remain obscure. Carefully curated and rendered.
