DÜRER, Albrecht: Hand Study with Bible

🖼 Hand Study with Bible, -
Drawing
280 × 120 cm

Delicate pen lines capture a weathered hand resting upon an open Bible, rendered with anatomical precision and devotional reverence. Dürer's study demonstrates Renaissance mastery of human form while asserting art's spiritual dimension—elevating a simple gesture into profound religious meditation.
