This color painting is listed on a number of art websites as simply "a male study."
I'm speculating here, but I believe it may have been for a patriotic mural that had
some wounded soldiers. Both Kenyon and Allyn Cox did such works, and would
usually, but not always, put clothes on the final versions.
The male almost looks like he was oiled up, doesn't he? Nice build, too.
