Title: Ugolino’s Feet
Medium: Charcoal and pen on toned gray paper

This anatomical illustration reinterprets a detail from Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s 19th-century sculpture Ugolino and His Sons, focusing on the feet of Ugolino. Using white charcoal and pen on toned gray paper, the drawing focuses on the surface musculature, accented by the addition of circular forms that introduce rhythm and abstraction into the composition.
