"Boy's Hands" is a drawing by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated around 1491. This work is notable for its meticulous detail and the skillful representation of the human form, which is characteristic of Dürer's artistic practice. The drawing depicts the delicate hands of a young boy, executed with fine lines that demonstrate Dürer's mastery of the medium and his understanding of anatomy.

As a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance, Dürer was renowned for his high-quality woodcut prints, engravings, and contributions to the development of printmaking techniques. His works often featured religious themes, self-portraits, and studies of nature and anatomy, reflecting both his intellectual curiosity and his engagement with the humanist ideas of his time.

"Boy's Hands" is considered an example of Dürer's early work, showcasing his precocious talent and the influence of his training under Michael Wolgemut, as well as his own father, who was a goldsmith. The drawing serves as an important piece in understanding Dürer's development as an artist and his lifelong interest in the human figure. It is held in the collection of the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, which houses one of the most extensive and important collections of Dürer's drawings.

The drawing is executed in silverpoint on prepared paper, a technique that requires a high level of precision, as the fine lines made with a silver stylus are nearly impossible to erase. This medium was commonly used during the Renaissance for detailed studies and preparatory sketches. "Boy's Hands" reflects Dürer's skill in using silverpoint to capture the subtleties of light and shadow, as well as the texture of the skin.

In the broader context of Dürer's oeuvre, "Boy's Hands" exemplifies the artist's lifelong exploration of proportion, form, and beauty. It also provides insight into the practices of Renaissance art education, where drawing from life was a fundamental exercise in an artist's training. The drawing continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its place within the history of art.
