Hand of the Honorable Lady Neave

Unknown 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a representation of a human hand, resting on a cushion-like base and adorned with a textured cuff around the wrist. It holds a small intricately carved flower near the fingers. The sculpture is made from smooth, light-colored marble. The marble's subtle shading accentuates the details of the hand and flower. The base of the sculpture has an engraved inscription: "R. VILLA DI MARLIA 15 MARZO 1883."
