2 uploaded photos

Overview

A life-sized, fully articulated wooden hand crafted from beechwood, designed as a reference tool for artists to study human anatomy.

Story

Artists have struggled with the complex mechanics of the human hand for centuries, leading to the development of these 'lay figures' as early as the Renaissance.

Maker / Origin

While this piece lacks a specific maker's mark, it follows the manufacturing traditions of major art supply houses like Winsor & Newton or Daler-Rowney.

Condition & Value

The wood appears to be in excellent, clean condition with a light natural finish. There is a small rectangular mark on the wrist, likely residue from a previous price sticker or inventory label. The joints appear tight and functional. Excellent condition for a working tool.
