"Four Studies of Hands and One Study of a Foot: Studies for the Stained Glass Windows of the Chapel of Saint Ferdinand, Paris" is a collection of preparatory sketches by the French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780–1867). These studies were created as part of the design process for the stained glass windows of the Chapel of Saint Ferdinand in Paris, a project that Ingres was commissioned to undertake in the mid-19th century. The chapel itself was built as a memorial to Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, the eldest son of King Louis-Philippe, who died in a carriage accident in 1842.

Ingres, renowned for his meticulous technique and precise draftsmanship, used these studies to explore the positioning and movement of hands and feet, which are often considered some of the most challenging parts of the human body to depict accurately. The studies exhibit Ingres's mastery in capturing the subtleties of human anatomy and his ability to convey emotion and narrative through gesture.

The sketches are executed in a style characteristic of Ingres's work, with a focus on clarity of line and form. They would have served as a crucial step in the development of the final stained glass designs, allowing Ingres to refine his compositions before their translation into glass. The studies are an important example of the preparatory work that underpins large-scale artistic commissions and offer insight into Ingres's working methods and his contributions to religious and historical art.

The Chapel of Saint Ferdinand, located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural milieu of the July Monarchy period in France. Ingres's involvement in the chapel's decoration highlights the intersection of art, royalty, and national memory during this era. The studies for the stained glass windows, including "Four Studies of Hands and One Study of a Foot," remain valuable artifacts of the creative process behind the chapel's artistic legacy.
