Leg
1898
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Leg is a 1898 by Alfred William Rich, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing depicts a single leg, rendered in pencil on a light beige background. The leg is positioned vertically, with the foot at the bottom and the thigh at the top, although the upper portion of the thigh is not fully visible. The artist has used diagonal hatching to create texture and shading, giving the impression of smooth skin. The leg is drawn in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the contours of the muscles and the shape of the foot. The background is plain, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the leg. For more information on the artist's technique, explore the concept of cross-hatching.
Alfred William Rich (1856–1921) was an artist, born in Sussex.
