Legs; verso: Seated Figure c. 1862 - 1875

Editor: This is William Rimmer's sketch called "Legs," with a "Seated Figure" on the back. The pencil lines are so delicate, almost ghost-like. It feels like a fleeting thought captured on paper. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, it whispers of anatomical studies, doesn’t it? A quest to understand the human form, but almost as if he's feeling his way through it, like a sculptor searching for the form within the stone. I wonder, does it evoke a sense of vulnerability to you? Editor: Yes, definitely. It's like catching a glimpse of something private, a secret being revealed. Thanks, I'll carry that with me! Curator: And I'll ponder on that vulnerability... art, isn't it fabulous?
