A Barrister’s Hand Cast: Famous Hands No. 3
A pale cast or impression records an open palm and extended fingers within an oval support. Shadowed depressions distinguish the fingers from the surrounding surface. The printed caption identifies Famous Hands, No. 3, Barrister. The plate in The Graven Palm lets the hand’s overall proportions and finer creases be compared with the other occupational examples.
