Van de Velde often placed his models in strong raking light, which served to emphasize the body’s plasticity. Most of his male models wear a generous loincloth, yet this model – who features in at least one other drawing – evidently did not hesitate to pose in the nude. Van de Velde does not seem to have used this study for any of his paintings.
