This is a drawing by George Chinnery. It shows feet—one foot tucked behind the other ankle—drawn twice, with shading added in the second version. It’s a simple study, but the repeated line and added shadows make it feel alive. Chinnery wasn’t trying to make feet look heroic. He just wanted to see how light and form work together. Take a look at the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
