Arm of Eve 1507

"Arm of Eve" is a 1507 pen and ink drawing by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. This study is a detailed anatomical exploration of the human hand, with a particular focus on the way light interacts with the form. Dürer's fascination with scientific observation is evident in the precision of the lines, which meticulously capture the contours of muscle, bone, and skin. This drawing is one of many studies of human anatomy created by Dürer, who sought to depict the human body with scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. This drawing, now housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art, is a testament to the artist's dedication to mastering both art and science.
