National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a pair of human hands, intricately intertwined and reaching upwards. The hands are sculpted from a material resembling bronze, with a dark brown color and subtle greenish patinas. The texture is smooth but detailed, highlighting finger joints and creases. The sculpture is mounted on a glossy black base bearing the artist's signature. It represents human hands, focusing on unity and connection.
