Description
The cast of an artist’s hand, especially with their tools, was a way to preserve the image of the individual ‘genius’ at work. Casts of hands could be used for drawings, or as mementoes for a marriage.
However, this cast stood as a reminder of Watts’s ambition as a sculptor. It immortalised the hand of the artist, even if he did not do most of his marble carving or bronze casting himself.
