The canvas is smooth despite a few thicknesses on the model's beard. This male nude has a great mastery of morphological rendering. Ménard takes care of both the aesthetic aspect the model's character. The technique is academic, precise, and full of details while the approach is more personal, serious, dark, and deep.
