(Sketches of Hands Holding Staffs, Feet, and Man in Hat in Profile)
1899–1906

A detailed pencil sketch on tan paper featuring various studies of human anatomy. The central focus is on a pair of legs from the knees down, with one foot stepping on a staff or rod. To the left, there's a small sketch of a figure wearing a hat, and scattered around are studies of hands and feet in different positions and angles. The drawing exhibits a mastery of form and shading, capturing the musculature and bone structure with precision.
