Johann Peter Krafft's "Fußstudie zu ‘Rüdiger und Angelika’" (1842) is a study in charcoal on paper of a human foot. The piece is a study for the artist's larger painting "Rüdiger and Angelika", and demonstrates the meticulous detail and anatomical accuracy with which Krafft approached his work. The foot is depicted in profile, with the toes slightly curled, revealing the artist's keen observation of the human form. This study showcases Krafft's interest in both academic drawing and the intricacies of the human body.
