Study of Hands 1506

Albrecht Dürer's "Study of Hands" (1506) is a detailed silverpoint drawing showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to anatomy. The two hands, one partially obscured by a sleeve, are rendered with precise detail, emphasizing the form and structure of the human hand. This study, typical of Dürer's early work, reflects his interest in the scientific observation of the human body, highlighting the Renaissance's fascination with realism and anatomical accuracy.
