In this large altarpiece, "Death of the Virgin" (1501), Hans Holbein the Elder initially painted the Virgin's hand too small. Taken in the context of the whole piece, he decided they needed to be enlarged and so he used thin layers over this already dried section. Cleaning and wear over the centuries has removed the corrections revealing the first "draft" of the hand.
