Edward Hopper

(Sketches of Hands)
1899–1906

Sketch of two human hands in different positions on aged paper, with one hand appearing relaxed and slightly open, and the other in a more tense, gripping posture. The drawing is detailed, emphasizing the folds of the skin and the drapery of the sleeves. There are faint annotations or artist's marks near the wrists.
