<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10046689, member: 79705&quot;]On hands, there&#039;s also the logistics of a commissioned painting. They could take quite some time to do good ones and the sitter would be there for days (trying to sit still which is really painful after a while) if an artist didn&#039;t employ short cuts. Prepratory sketches were fast, as were prep oils on really grand commissions. For a regular professional you&#039;d keep your sitter only long enough to get that face right, then everything else was secondary. You kept the costume to put on another model. You did the same hands you knew to do from imagination. The background was vague and if there were props or furniture, you kept those for later. Etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>These hands look vague enough to be done from the artist&#039;s imagination and don&#039;t look like they were done strictly from life as the likeness may have been.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
