Study of a Hand

European 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an up-close view of a person's hand. The hand is positioned with the back facing the viewer and fingers slightly bent, relaxed, against a flat surface. The skin appears smooth. There are no specific facial features or hair visible. The image does not display any clothing. The background is plain and likely composed of a neutral, slightly textured surface behind the hand.
