Two Legs

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of the human lower body, focusing on the legs from the upper thigh down to the feet. The body is depicted in two positions: the left leg is in a frontal view, with the foot pointing slightly forward, while the right leg is at a slight angle, with the foot pointing more sideways. The drawing emphasizes musculature and bony structures with a minimal sketch style. There are no distinct facial features, hair, or clothing depicted in the drawing. The background is a plain paper surface with some visible spots and a handwritten annotation on the right side attributing the drawing to William Blake.
