About Leonardo da Vinci and A Standing Male Nude (1504)

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) made this drawing around 1504–1506, when his preparations for the Battle of Anghiari mural in Florence led him back to a deep study of anatomy and proportion. He drew a series of standing male figures from the front and back as 'background research' on the human form. A cut inscription at the top seems to name the model as a musician called Francesco. The sheet, in red chalk and measuring about 27 x 16 cm, passed to Francesco Melzi, Pompeo Leoni and the Earl of Arundel, and has been in the Royal Collection since around 1690.
