Studies of Hands 1512 - 1522

This red chalk drawing by Andrea del Sarto, titled "Studies of Hands," exemplifies the artist's mastery of anatomical detail and expressive gesture. Created between 1512 and 1522, the drawing showcases two hands, one grasping an unseen object, the other positioned in a gesture of contemplation. Del Sarto's meticulous rendering of the hands' form and subtle variations in shading contribute to a sense of depth and realism, making these studies valuable for both artists and art enthusiasts alike.
