Original artwork description:

Teeny Life in Hands

This drawing captures a tender and heartwarming moment — a child’s small hand gently holding a tiny duckling. There’s something profoundly symbolic in this fragile connection: a little life being trusted to another small, innocent being. It’s a meeting of gentleness and care, where both are equally delicate, equally pure.

The artwork evokes that quiet happiness we feel when witnessing new life — the joy of seeing the first hatchlings and wanting to hold each one carefully, to feel their warmth and softness. It’s about that innocent wonder that children experience so naturally — the kind of joy that reminds us how precious and healing even the smallest lives can be.

Teeny Life in Hands belongs to the series “In Hands”, which includes artworks of different sizes and formats, all united by one central idea — the hand. Each piece in the series tells its own unique story and conveys a different emotion. Though they are connected by this common element, every artwork remains deeply individual, reflecting distinct moods and meanings.

Supplied framed and ready to hang, with anti-reflective glass. Frame dimensions are provided in the listing.

Materials used:

charcoal, graphite pencils, white liner, varnish
