A large horizontal red chalk study focused almost entirely on the legs and feet of a reclining or seated figure — the most feet-forward composition in the entire collection. The lower body fills the composition: the legs extending from the upper left and upper right toward the lower center, where the feet meet in a crossed or folded position. The feet are the composition's center.
The feet are described with the most sustained sanguine attention in any figure drawing: each foot is drawn with individual toe marks, the soles visible, the ankle bones indicated, the heel visible from below. This is the most anatomically specific foot study in the collection — Sidney's recurring attention to the feet here given its own composition.
The legs extending above the feet are described with the characteristic sanguine economy — outer contour, a few brief shadow marks at the knee and inner thigh. The upper body is barely indicated at the upper edges of the composition, dissolving into the palest marks.
This foot-centered composition is the most extreme instance of Sidney's consistent attention to the foot as the drawing's most specific element. Here, the foot is not simply specific within a full-figure drawing — it is the subject.
