About the Item

Academic Study of a Clenched Hand, Tuscany, mid-19th century, 29 × 23 cm Pencil on slightly grey paper Academic study depicting a clenched male hand, executed with close attention to volume, anatomical structure, and chiaroscuro. The drawing focuses on the tension of the fingers, the rendering of the nails, and the musculature of the back of the hand, reflecting the analytical approach typical of 19th-century academic training. Such studies of individual parts of the human body formed a central element of artistic education during the period. This sheet belongs to a coherent group of drawings preserved in two old portfolios, bringing together academic exercises produced by several generations, from the 18th century to the first quarter of the 20th century. Fine antique paper of good quality, with natural patina and light traces of studio use.
