"Kneeling Male Nude" is a drawing by the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau, known for his contribution to the Rococo era of art with his creation of the fête galante genre. This work exemplifies Watteau's skill in capturing the human form with a delicate and expressive touch. The drawing is believed to date from the early 18th century, a period when Watteau was engaged in studying figures to enhance the realism and emotional depth of his paintings.

The artwork features a male figure in a dynamic pose, with one knee on the ground and the other raised, suggesting a moment of action or repose. The use of red chalk, or sanguine, a medium Watteau favored for its warm tones and ability to render the subtleties of flesh, is evident in this piece. The drawing showcases the artist's mastery of anatomy and his ability to convey the weight and movement of the human body through confident, fluid lines.

"Kneeling Male Nude" is not only a study of form but also reflects Watteau's interest in the theatricality of gesture, a theme prevalent in his larger body of work. The identity of the model and the intended purpose of the drawing—whether it was a preparatory study for a painting or a standalone work—are not definitively known, which adds an element of mystery to the piece.

As with many of Watteau's drawings, "Kneeling Male Nude" is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors for its technical prowess and aesthetic beauty. It is a testament to the artist's brief but impactful career, which continues to influence the art world centuries after his death in 1721. The drawing is part of a larger collection of Watteau's works that can be found in various museums and galleries around the world, contributing to the legacy of an artist who played a pivotal role in the development of 18th-century French art.
