1923
This oddity is a study done in 1923 that has the foot detached.
That's a common practice among artists when they start drawing something and it's too big for the page. See Leonardo's preliminary sketch for The Last Summer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stiudium_do_Ostatniej_Wieczerzy.jpg
Or, it could be what is also known by most artists as a vignette or detail of a body part… But I suspect that you are right, the artist just ran out of room on the paper…
