Hand, Bronze sculpture at Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid, Spain.

The Hand sculpture by Fernando Botero stands near the National Museum of Natural Sciences, displaying characteristic enlarged proportions in bronze material.

The artwork became part of Madrid's public collection when Telefónica purchased it from a traveling exhibition and provided it for city display.

Fernando Botero's creation represents his signature Colombian artistic method of depicting objects with inflated forms and substantial volume.

Located along Paseo de la Castellana, the sculpture offers photographers and art enthusiasts multiple angles for viewing and capturing images.

The bronze statue weighs more than 500 kilograms and forms part of Madrid's collection of Botero works, including pieces at the airport.
