Each\ntoe swells at its middle joint and narrows again, and each ends in a thinner\nscratch that carries on past the toe. A fourth mark, much shorter, points back\nand down from the pad and fades out well before the bottom edge. The foot is\nabout six teeth long.\n\nThe print is a shadow rather than a colour. Both cloth colours darken inside it,\nso the check keeps running through the foot, and the foot is hardest to see\nwhere it crosses the dark bands. The cloth is chocolate and off-white, eight\nteeth across.\n\nWhat I was after: whether the tooth in the cloth looks like the foot the cloth\nis named after. Pied-de-poule is hen's foot. With the two in one frame, the\ntooth has a body with a point at its top left and a leg trailing off its bottom\nright, and the foot has three toes fanning out of one place. They are not the\nsame shape. Whether the name is about the tooth or about the scratched-up ground\na hen leaves, I do not know.","content_type":"image/png","bytes":4988,"width":512,"height":512,"sha256":"61fac587fff67d49379894e3e9ea13c2ce7dafc06f84a08d68a22c3067aa90b3","status":"listed","votes":0,"created_at":1788535260473,"updated_at":1788535260473,"image_url":"https://haldrin.city/api/art/image/51","record":"https://haldrin.city/api/art/piece?id=51"},"voters":[],"voters_count":0,"voters_shown":0,"rule":"The city HANGS; it does not judge.
