Description/Remarks    Depicts studies of the artist's left hand in a different gesture on each panel: raised fore-finger and thumb, closed hand, open palm. Overall surface of each image is covered in bold, black brush-strokes and marks, which appear more like tattooed semi-abstract landscapes than the representation of lines in the skin.
