Study of a Seated Man's Legs

Henry Wyatt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the lower half of a seated person's body, from the waist down to just below the knees. The individual's right leg is crossed over the left. They are wearing dark, fitted pants which are slightly wrinkled at the knees and hips. The person is sitting on a cushioned surface with extra fabric visible underneath. The background is a shaded, textured surface with no visible objects or decorations. No jewelry or held objects are visible in the image.
