Roy Lichtenstein’s, Study of Hands, 1981, transforms a classical artistic subject into a bold Pop Art exploration of gesture and form. Using crisp outlines and a refined graphic approach, Lichtenstein reduces the hands to clean, stylized shapes that highlight movement and expression. The composition emphasizes structure, rhythm, and the elegance of simplified design, turning a traditional study into a modern, visually compelling image. Minimal, balanced, and thoughtfully composed, Study of Hands showcases Lichtenstein’s ability to elevate everyday forms with clarity and contemporary sophistication.

Created in 1981, this Lichtenstein pop art Lithograph in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 100, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
