Study of a Foot [verso]

Benjamin Robert Haydon

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a lightly sketched drawing of a foot. Only a portion of the body is shown, specifically the foot, positioned so the sole is not visible, with parts of the toes and the arch of the foot defined. The sketch is simple and minimalistic, focusing solely on the outline and shape of the foot without additional detail or shading. There are no facial features or hair present, as the focus is on the foot. The drawing is on a plain background of textured paper, with the foot outlined in faint pencil lines. There are no clothing, jewelry, or other objects visible in the image, and the background consists solely of the textured brown paper.
