Description:
The horizontal plate impression is much smaller and situated at upper half of the vertical paper. Six hands with fingers pointing, a french curve ruler and shadows are depicted in fine lines in dark brown ink. Most hands appear to be below the French curve reaching upward. In places the French curve looks transparent and in others it looks solid. The far right hand appears to hover above the artist's template.
