About the Item
A unique piece of academic art, this vintage plaster sculpture is a school study of a human hand. Dating from the 1950s, it was likely used in an art class or a medical school for anatomical reference. The piece captures the nuanced details of the hand's form, from the knuckles to the fingernails. It has a rough, textural feel on the back, consistent with its age and utilitarian purpose. A small metal loop on the back suggests it was once hung for display. A fantastic decorative object for an artist's studio, office, or gallery wall. The sculpture is in good condition with normal signs of use and age visibles on the photos.
