The 18th century jail of Villarrubia de los Ojos, built on the ground floor of the old City Hall building, is located in the center of the town of Villarrubia de los Ojos (Ciudad Real, Spain). As in other jails of the same period, the walls of some cells contain engravings (graffiti). Among all of them here it is possible to distinguish human legs. Possibly it is a representation of a complete male figure but only the representation of the lower half has been preserved in good condition.

3D model made in Reality Capture software using 139 images. Additional processing done in Geomagic Wrap, Zbrush, Substance Designer, and Blender.
