Artist, French, 1881 - 1955

This is a drawing of hands holding a foot. The drawing shows a pair of hands delicately cradling a foot. The lines are meticulously rendered, using a combination of cross-hatching and bold linework to convey shadows and depth, giving the drawing a sense of texture and form. The background is left plain, which directs focus entirely to the hands and the foot.
