Is this how one hailed a horse drawn taxi? These images are a good example of how the
archived academic works of these artists give a really interesting grasp of a moment in time.
I have as many as five views of the same model from the same session through the eyes of five
artists. The goal was to depict the man exactly as he was, and the results that have been
preserved seem to be quite accurate, but the there were always subtle differences.
If so, I bet it was effective!
ReplyDeleteWow, excellent. Note the "standard" foot placement. We can't help ourselves!
ReplyDeleteInteresting detail about the feet. Thanks!
DeleteIt's a habit thing. You feel that you must do something with your feet...this tends to be it.
