Left Hand

Auguste Rodin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human hand with five fingers that are slightly spread apart and gently curved. It is made from a light-colored material, possibly marble, with a pale grayish-white hue. The surface of the sculpture has a textured appearance, with a rough finish, highlighting its carved nature. The hand is positioned as if resting on a flat surface, with the palm facing downward and the fingers curving slightly inward.
