Life Cast of Left Forearm and Hand

myminifactory

The detailed rendering of a woman's forearm and hand is uncannily lifelike, showcasing the unmistakable texture and tone of real skin. Notably, it measures exactly and maintains the same pose as the left arm and hand of the Greek Slave, prompting questions about who may have served as Powers' model for this celebrated sculpture and to what degree he drew on studies from life when crafting his idealized figures.
