Study of Legs (Phryne) to the Painting "Phryne on the Poseidon's Celebration in Eleusis" is a 1882 oil by Henryk Siemiradzki, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a close-up of a person's legs, with the feet facing forward and the knees slightly bent. The legs are bare, and the skin tone is a warm, flesh-colored hue. The background is dark and indistinct, with hints of brown and gray. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured, almost three-dimensional quality. The overall effect is one of intimacy and vulnerability, as if the viewer is being given a private glimpse of the subject's body.
