"A Seated Academic Nude with His Hands Clasped" is a notable work by the French Rococo painter François Lemoyne (1688–1737), also known as François Le Moyne or Lemoyne. This artwork is an example of an academic study, a genre that was essential in the training of artists during the 17th and 18th centuries. Such studies were a fundamental part of the curriculum at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris, where Lemoyne was both a student and later a professor.

The painting depicts a male nude in a seated position with his hands clasped, showcasing Lemoyne's mastery of the human form and his ability to capture the subtleties of muscle and flesh through his adept use of light and shadow. The work is reflective of the academic practice of studying the nude figure to achieve an idealized representation of the human body, which was central to the artistic standards of the time.

François Lemoyne's career was marked by his appointment as First Painter to King Louis XV, and his works were highly sought after by the French aristocracy. "A Seated Academic Nude with His Hands Clasped" exemplifies the elegance and grace that characterize Lemoyne's oeuvre. Despite his success, Lemoyne's life ended tragically in suicide, just a few years after completing his most famous work, the ceiling of the Salon d'Hercule at the Palace of Versailles.

The painting in question not only represents the technical proficiency required of artists of the period but also serves as an important artifact of the educational practices and aesthetic values of the Rococo era. It remains an important piece for the study of French art history and the development of life drawing as a discipline within the fine arts.
