Drawing hand to the picture Merchant's wife 1915

"Drawing hand to the picture Merchant's wife" is a 1915 charcoal drawing by Boris Kustodiev (1878-1927). The drawing depicts a close-up view of a woman's hands, emphasizing the intricate details of the fingers, the delicate lace of her sleeve, and the folds of her clothing. This study, likely preparatory for a larger composition, showcases Kustodiev's mastery of the human form and his ability to convey texture and form with subtle shading.
