Chappuis (1973, p. 81) noted that Marion's feet (at left) are seen drawn from above, while Valebrègue's in foreshortening. This difference is more apparent in the painting of the two men (FWN400). "For his foreground figures, Cézanne sometimes adopted the posture of saints on stained-glass windows and tympani in Romanesque art, where the treatment of the feet tends to bring the figure forward (foreshortening produces the opposite effect)." See, for example, FWN508, 668 and 670.
