Hands and Feet is an etching realized by Jean Francois Poletnich in 1755. Good conditions with foxing and folding. The artwork is depicted through confident strokes. The etching was realized for the anatomy study “JOMBERT, Charles-Antoine (1712-1784) - Méthode pour apprendre le dessein, ou l'on donne les regles générales de ce grand Art.. enrichie de cent planches representant differentes parties du Corps Humain.. et quelques etudes d`Animaux & de Paysage. Paris: C.A. Jombert, 1755” The plates of this important study were mainly dedicated to anatomical studies, physiognomy and proportions, many taken from works by famous artists such as Raphael, Guido Reni and Titian, as well as classical works including the Farnese Hercules and the Medici Venus.

Graphite, ink wash and watercolor on handmade laid paper with a large, indistinguishable ovoid watermark with a bunch of grapes, 8 7/16 x 12 5/8 inches (225 x 320 mm), signed in brown ink in the lower left. With the Henry Scipio Reitlinger oval stamp in brown ink on the verso (Lugt 2274a). The condition of the image and paper is consistent with age, there is minor toning on the recto and some attenuation of the green pigment. The drawing is laid down to an 18th century laid paper support and has a small pencil notation in the lower right corner (modern), and scattered notations in pencil on the verso of the support (also modern, perhaps auction/accession notes). On the paper support is an ink drawing in red and black of what appears to be the floor plan for the wing of a large building. The drawing is top-up, adhered facing the verso of the drawing. The architectural drawing on the support is visible through to the recto of the composition when the sheets are viewed through raking light. There is a small area of stipple point spotting in brown ink on the verso of the support. Examination under black light shows no indication of repairs or additions, expert or otherwise. Provenance: Henry Scipio Reitlinger was born in either 1882 or 1885, attended Kings College...
