"Recto: Standing Draped Male Figure, Seen From Behind" is a drawing by the Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert (1566–1651), who was a prominent figure in the Northern Mannerist style of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Bloemaert's work is characterized by its intricate detail, use of color, and the blending of classical elements with the more modern Baroque style that was emerging during his lifetime.

This particular drawing is executed in black chalk on paper and showcases Bloemaert's skill in rendering the human figure with a strong sense of volume and movement. The subject of the drawing is a male figure draped in flowing garments, depicted from behind. The posture of the figure suggests a sense of dynamism and may indicate that the work was a study for a larger composition, possibly for a painting or an engraving. Studies of this kind were common practice among artists of the period, who often explored the nuances of light, shadow, and form through such preparatory sketches.

The drawing is notable for its attention to the drapery's folds, which are rendered with a high degree of realism. This attention to detail reflects the artist's interest in the way fabric interacts with the human body and the play of light across its surface. The figure's pose, with one leg slightly forward and the torso twisted, demonstrates Bloemaert's understanding of human anatomy and his ability to capture the body in a naturalistic manner.

As a work of art, "Recto: Standing Draped Male Figure, Seen From Behind" provides insight into Bloemaert's artistic process and serves as an example of the preparatory works that were essential to the creation of larger, more complex compositions. It also reflects the broader artistic trends of the Dutch Golden Age, during which artists were deeply engaged in the study of the human form and the mastery of drawing as a foundational skill.

The drawing is part of the collection of the British Museum, which holds a significant number of Bloemaert's works on paper. It is frequently studied by art historians and students for its exemplary technique and as a representation of the artist's oeuvre. The work is also of interest to those studying the history of costume and the representation of textiles in art.

"Recto: Standing Draped Male Figure, Seen From Behind" remains an important piece within Abraham Bloemaert's body of work, reflecting the artist's meticulous approach to drawing and his contribution to the development of Dutch art during a period of rich cultural and artistic growth.
