Artists often begin drawing from the top down, starting with the head to establish the proportions of the body. Therefore, in the case of "Achille De Gas in the Uniform of a Cadet" by Edgar Degas, it is most likely that the artist started with the head.
In order to draw this man's body with appropriate proportions, which part of the body did the artist most likely start drawing first?

• legs
• chest
