Because of the painting's dark background, much of the human anatomy at the forefront has been faded or hidden within. But given the terms lost and found contour, the viewer is able to continue the line visually as if it were just as clear as the rest. With lost and found contour, we understand that the man leaning over the man on the ground is not a floating torso, but attached to the legs that are disguised in the dark value surrounding him.
