This is a pencil and chalk drawing from 1842. It shows a woman looking at her foot. The artist, Redgrave, used black and red chalk for shadows and white chalk for light. It’s a quick study for a bigger painting. Redgrave often made these before his paintings. He later became the first curator at the South Kensington Museum, which is now the V&A. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more work by Redgrave.
