Well, I guess this could be considered OT - or mannerisms are a part of fashion -
I know someone here knows this...where or how do I find information on the hand positions in artwork??? These are a few links below for examples...the one I was really thinking of was where the hand is held up and the forefinger touches the thumb....of course I can't find a picture of it right now. It seems to me that I remember it as a typical gesture in the paintings of Christ and/or the Madonna. http://www.viewbuildings.com/simages/isleham-full.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Jan_van_Eyck_001.jpg Thanks in advance!
