Auguste Rodin

Sculptor, French, 1840 - 1917

The sculpture depicts a human hand raised upwards with fingers slightly curled. The hand is crafted from a dark, metallic material with a patina, showing hues of deep green and black. The surface of the hand is smooth with slight variations in texture, and it is mounted on a smooth, rectangular base. The base appears to be made of a different material, possibly stone or polished metal, with a glossy black finish. The scale of the hand in relation to its base suggests that it is a tabletop sculpture. The artist's signature is visible on the wrist area.
