Hands present a unique challenge for artists. Next to faces, they are the most expressive and intricate body part. Hands have many small features, including knuckles, creases, and delicate fingers. Adding to the complexity, every person sees or feels hands every day. We can tell instantly whether an artist has captured them accurately. In your eyes, how well do these artists succeed? How do the artists use different poses to convey expression and meaning?
