Etude de poing gauche fermé 

This charcoal drawing by French artist Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz depicts a study of a closed left fist. The loose and gestural lines create a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the anatomical details of the hand. Diaz was known for his figure studies and landscapes, and this piece demonstrates his skill in capturing the essence of form. The use of charcoal adds a sense of depth and texture, making the drawing feel almost three-dimensional. This work is a testament to the importance of studies in the development of an artist's practice.
