The composition focuses exclusively on a pair of hands, which are cropped from the wrists upward and positioned centrally within the frame.

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.
