"A Seated Male Nude" is a notable work by the 18th-century Italian artist Gaetano Gandolfi. Born in 1734 in San Matteo della Decima, Gandolfi was a prominent figure in the Bolognese School of painting, and his oeuvre includes a wide range of religious, mythological, and genre scenes, as well as portraits and studies of the human figure. This particular drawing is an example of the academic practice of studying the human form, which was a fundamental part of an artist's training during the period.

The artwork depicts a male figure seated in a relaxed, yet dynamic pose, showcasing Gandolfi's mastery in rendering the human anatomy with both accuracy and artistic expression. The figure's muscles and the play of light and shadow across the form are rendered with a level of detail that suggests both a scientific understanding of the body and a lyrical approach to its depiction.

Created using chalk on paper, a medium that allows for both precision and subtlety, "A Seated Male Nude" exemplifies the techniques taught at the academies of the time, where life drawing was considered essential for the development of an artist's skill. Gandolfi's work is characterized by its vigorous draftsmanship and the vitality of its figures, qualities that are evident in this drawing.

While the exact date of creation for "A Seated Male Nude" is not specified, it is likely from the period when Gandolfi was active, between the mid-18th century and his death in 1802.
