“The artwork titled ‘Study for Builders of Feet’ by Fernand Léger, created in 1950, belongs to the Cubism art movement. This sketch and study piece, measuring 36.5 by 26.8 centimeters, is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork is a minimalist sketch featuring the lower portion of a figure, concentrating on the feet and portions of the hands and legs. The lines are clean and concise, demonstrating Léger’s typical focus on geometric forms and clarity. The simplicity in the line work allows the observer to appreciate the meticulous attention paid to the anatomical structure, while still adhering to the abstract elements of Cubism. One can discern the contour of shoes, hands, and a stool, conveying a sense of the builder’s task at hand even within the constraints of a sketch. The initials “FL 50″ at the bottom right signify the artist’s signature and the date of completion.”
