Skitse af en fod set fra neden. Hælen t.v. 1743 - 1809

"Skitse af en fod set fra neden. Hælen t.v." is a pencil sketch on paper created by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard between 1743 and 1809. This quick study, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, focuses on the anatomical details of a human foot, rendered from an unusual perspective. The artist's use of simple lines and shading emphasizes the form of the foot, creating a sense of realism within a minimalistic composition. This work exemplifies Abildgaard's interest in anatomical studies, a common practice among artists during the Neoclassical period.
