"Hand with base" is a small plaster sculpture by Auguste Rodin, created between 1880 and 1890. The piece is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The sculpture is a study in form and texture, with the artist's focus on the detail of the hand and its muscularity. This detail is a hallmark of Rodin's work and contributed to his rise as one of the most prominent sculptors of the late 19th century.
