Small Window with Hands 

John Bratby was a British painter known for his bold and expressive style. "Small Window with Hands" is a typical example of his work, capturing the gritty reality of everyday life. The painting features a window with a view of a brick wall, seen from the inside of a room. In the foreground, two pairs of hands are placed prominently, seemingly reaching out or pushing against something unseen. Bratby's use of thick paint and vibrant colors gives the work a tactile and energetic quality, reflecting the artist's interest in capturing the textures and experiences of ordinary life. This piece, which is characteristic of Bratby's work, is also sometimes categorized as "Kitchen Sink Realism".
