Red Chalk Study of a Bent Arm
Surface anatomy of a bent limb drawn on an irregularly cut sheet of red paper
On an L-shaped, irregularly cut piece of red paper, a bent human limb is studied in red chalk, seen from the shoulder or upper mass down to the forearm. The muscular form is modelled with soft hatching that follows the rounded volumes as the limb turns. No text is present on the sheet.

The study traces a limb bending at a joint, the fuller mass of the upper part tapering toward the lower. Light hatching and blended shading model the surface muscles as they turn in space, with the contour firmed along the lower edge.
