That's remarkable. I've never seen this, nor heard that Van Gogh ever sketched nudes. I've never seen a painted nude by him. So it must have stopped with "Let me sketch you. Just stand right there."

Well. I see he was into the Heroic disposition. I wonder if the person in the background indicates a larger context of male nudity, like a public bath, or if he was doing a study for something never executed, rather than something to rattle off on a lazy Saturday morning.

It seems, like vaginas, engorged penises are almost entirely absent from classical antiquity's art (perhaps they were destroyed, too) - but did they make a modern appearance somewhere, like "The Origin of the World"? Who brought them out?
