Seventeenth Century Boots of Standing Figure n.d.

This charcoal drawing, “Seventeenth Century Boots of Standing Figure,” by English artist John Downman (1749-1824), depicts a close-up of a pair of boots, likely from a larger portrait. The boots are rendered with precise detail, capturing the texture of the leather and the folds of the fabric. This study highlights Downman's skill in capturing anatomical details, making it a valuable study for art enthusiasts and historians. The drawing is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, measuring 245 × 270 mm.
