Lady's Hand and Flowers
Unknown
1800–1900 · Marble · The American Wing
This marble sculpture of a diminutive female hand delicately resting on a bouquet of flowers was likely produced during the mid-nineteenth century, when carvings and casts of fragmentary parts of the human anatomy were popular. Although rendered with a neoclassical sense of idealization, hand sculptures were often personal and sentimental tributes.
