The Hand of Poussin, after Ingres

The drawing The Hand of Poussin, after Ingres is a drawing by Georges Seurat. It was created between 1875 and 1877. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This meticulous graphite pencil drawing depicts a hand, thought to be a study of Nicolas Poussin's hand. Seurat's attention to detail is evident in the precise rendering of the hand's anatomy, capturing the subtle nuances of the skin and the interplay of light and shadow.
