"Male Nude Raising his Arm" is a notable work by French painter Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758–1823). Created during Prud'hon's mature period in the 19th century, the drawing exemplifies artist's mastery of light and shade in capturing the human form. Drawn in black and white chalk on blue paper, these measures accentuated the three-dimensionality of the figure.

Prud'hon, known for his nuanced renderings of the human form, often diverged from the Neoclassical standards of his time, leaning more toward Romanticism with an emphasis on emotion and the individual. This divergence is reflected in this artwork as well, presenting an expressive depiction of a male nude subject raising his arm.

While the exact date of this work is not known, Prud'hon's style from this period can be observed throughout, particularly in the sculptural approach to the figure's musculature and the emphasis on light and shadow to define form. His ability to represent the human body in a naturalistic yet idealised way is a tell-tale sign of Prud'hon's works, which are known for their simultaneous celebration and critique of human form and physicality.

The dynamic pose - a male figure seen from behind, raising an arm - is a model of action and movement, standing as a testament to Prud'hon's study of the human body in various poses and from different perspectives. This piece showcases the artist's skill in conveying emotional depth and physical energy in his portraiture of the human body.

The work, held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, continues to be revered for its visual eloquence and substantive contribution to Prud'hon's oeuvre. Furthermore, it remains an important study in 19th-century figural drawing, influencing later artists' treatment of the male nude in art history.
