Study of male hands and arms 1504

Albrecht Dürer's "Study of male hands and arms" from 1504 showcases the artist's mastery of anatomical detail. This pen and ink drawing, now housed at the British Museum, depicts various poses of male hands and arms with an emphasis on their structure and musculature. It reflects Dürer's meticulous approach to observation and his dedication to capturing the human form with precision. This study, likely made for a larger work, offers a glimpse into the artist's process and the importance of anatomical studies in Renaissance art.
