Question - 244

Today's question is courtesy Swapnaa. The visual in the left is a self-portrait of a man and a very famous work of his is shown in the second visual. Identify both.

Answer: This is Albrecht Durer with his famous "praying hands". If you came across any story that the hands belong to Durer's brother who had to work in coal mines to put Durer through some art school, it is bunkum. Mekie, Raghu, Srivats, Vetti, Iam and Rajeev got it. Well done.
