Croquis de main droite et de main gauche 

This simple pencil sketch by Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz, a prominent French painter of the 19th century, captures the delicate details of the human hand in a study of two distinct positions. The artist’s focus on anatomy and gesture is evident in the precise rendering of the hands, emphasizing the subtle variations in form and movement. This study likely served as a preparatory drawing for a larger artwork, offering a glimpse into Diaz’s artistic process.
