Visual Composition and Technique
The drawing, titled Hands of an Apostle, is a detailed study rendered in pen and ink on blue colored paper. The composition focuses exclusively on a pair of hands, which are cropped from the wrists upward and positioned centrally within the frame. These hands are depicted in a gesture of prayer, with the fingers clasped together. The artwork utilizes chiaroscuro to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality, employing dramatic contrasts between light and dark to sculpt the form of the hands.

Subject Matter and Materiality
The subject of the work is a study of human anatomy through the depiction of two male hands engaged in prayer. The background consists of a uniform, textured blue hue, which appears to have been achieved through small brushstrokes or cross-hatching. The lighting in the piece originates from above and slightly to the left, casting shadows that define the physical structure of the hands. The overall presentation is a monochrome study of form, utilizing black ink and white heightening to achieve realism against the self-made blue paper.
