Tuke was renowned for painting reclining and lounging male nudes in sunlit coastal and beach settings, combining warm luminous tones with careful anatomical study in ways that closely mirror this piece. His work shares the same sensual yet contemplative treatment of the male form against sandy shores and open sky.

Fischl creates contemporary figurative paintings of reclining and exposed human figures in leisure settings like beaches, exploring themes of vulnerability and intimacy with warm realist tones that parallel this work closely. His compositions similarly place the unclothed figure in naturalistic outdoor environments with psychological depth.

Cadmus devoted much of his career to meticulously rendered male nude figure studies in beach and outdoor settings, using warm earth tones and precise anatomical detail that strongly echo the qualities of this painting. His figurative work shares the same intimate sensuality and careful compositional treatment of the reclining male body.
