← Rodin, Auguste

The sculpture is of a human hand and wrist, depicted in a relaxed, natural position with fingers slightly bent. The sculpture's material appears to be a pale, white plaster, with a matte surface that shows subtle texture. The hand is life-sized, comparable to the size of an average human hand, and is oriented upright. The sculpture focuses on anatomical accuracy, with detailed contours and proportions that mimic the appearance of real human skin and bones. The material and color give the sculpture a minimalist and classical appearance.
