Study of a hand is a 1900 oil by Stanisław Lentz, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a close-up of a hand, with the wrist and forearm visible. The hand is positioned with the palm facing downwards, and the fingers are curled inwards. The skin tone is a mix of pink and beige, with some redness visible on the knuckles. The background is a dark grey color, which helps to highlight the hand. The painting appears to be a study of the human hand, with attention to detail on the skin texture and color. The artist has used oil paint to create a realistic and lifelike image.
