"Ra — Study of a Man Holding an Instrument" is a drawing by the English artist William Etty, known for his history paintings containing nude figures. This particular work, executed in pen and brown ink with a watercolour wash, measures 10 by 8.5 centimeters and showcases Etty's skill in figure drawing. The artwork depicts a man in a contemplative pose, holding a musical instrument, which suggests a study of form and emotion, capturing the interplay between the subject and the object he holds.

William Etty (1787–1849) was an artist who gained prominence in the early 19th century, particularly noted for his ability to render the human figure with a high degree of realism and his use of rich color. While Etty was celebrated for his large-scale historical and mythological paintings, he also produced a significant body of smaller works and studies that include drawings and sketches. These studies often served as preparatory works for his larger compositions, but they also stand alone as examples of his artistic practice and attention to detail.

"Ra — Study of a Man Holding an Instrument" reflects Etty's interest in the human form and his dedication to classical ideals of beauty and proportion. The use of pen and ink combined with watercolour wash allows for both precision in the line work and a softness in the shading and tonality, creating a sense of depth and volume. This work, like many of Etty's studies, would have contributed to his understanding of anatomy and the effects of light on the human figure, which are central themes in his larger paintings.

As a piece from the oeuvre of William Etty, "Ra — Study of a Man Holding an Instrument" is an example of the artist's draftsmanship and his exploration of the human condition through art. It is a testament to his lifelong pursuit of mastering the depiction of the human body and his ability to capture the subtleties of expression and form.
