Hand 1919

"Hand" is a charcoal drawing created by František Drtikol in 1919. The artwork depicts a close-up view of a hand, rendered with bold strokes and dramatic chiaroscuro, emphasizing the form and texture of the subject. Drtikol's expressive style, often incorporating elements of Art Nouveau and Symbolism, is evident in this piece, where the hand appears both powerful and vulnerable. This drawing is a striking example of Drtikol's exploration of the human form, which he often depicted with a raw and emotive quality.
