Etude de mains 

This study of hands, "Etude de mains," is a work by the French Romantic painter Narcisse-Virgilio Diaz. The drawing features four hands in various poses and angles, rendered with precise detail. Diaz was known for his skill in capturing the human form, and this study demonstrates his keen observation of anatomy and gesture. The simplicity of the composition and the delicate lines of the drawing suggest a focus on the fundamental elements of form and structure, likely a preliminary study for a larger work.
