This work is emblematic of Hicks's engagement with themes of loss, longing, and the human condition, reflecting the broader Victorian fascination with death, mourning, and the afterlife. The painting's title is derived from a line in the poem "Break, Break, Break" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, underscoring the deep interconnection between literary and visual arts during the Victorian era and highlighting the cultural preoccupation with grief and memory.

George Elgar Hicks (1824–1914) was a versatile artist known for his genre scenes, portraits, and historical paintings. His work often delved into the social issues and everyday life of his time, capturing the essence of the Victorian period with keen observation and emotional depth. "Alone! Oh for the touch of a vanished hand" stands out in Hicks's oeuvre for its intimate portrayal of grief and the longing for connection with those who have passed away.

The painting depicts a solitary figure in a moment of profound sorrow and reflection, surrounded by symbols and motifs that enhance the theme of loss and remembrance. The attention to detail, use of color, and composition all serve to draw the viewer into the emotional landscape of the subject, making it a powerful example of Hicks's skill in conveying complex emotional states through his art.
