(Sketches of Hands and Fruit)
1900–1906

A sketch on aged paper featuring studies of human anatomy with a focus on arms and eyes. The drawing includes a detailed rendering of a flexed forearm and fist, a close-up of an eye, and a hand holding a thin object, possibly a drawing tool. The artwork exhibits strong shading and realistic proportions, capturing the play of light and muscle structure.
