Moses by Michelangelo (fragment, arm)
A fragment of the Michelangelo’s sculpture Moses (Italian: Mosè c. 1513–1515).
This is the model for drawing with the focus on studying an arm, including shoulder, elbow and palm.
Michelangelo’s Moses features a famous anatomical detail in its right forearm: the extensor digiti minimi muscle. This tiny muscle only contracts and becomes visibly tensed when the little finger is raised.
