Quality of the handwesterncommon
Also called: The artistic hand · D'Arpentigny type 5
Where on the hand: Recognised from the fingertips and the palm: tapering fingers with rounded or conic tips on a full, rounded palm.
What it looks like: A medium-sized, full and rather soft hand; smooth (unknotted) fingers; smooth skin; a supple and often small thumb.
The hand of impulse and intuition — quick in sympathy and in temper, loving beauty and luxury, generous, changeable, and governed by first impressions. Artistic feeling, but with a weak will and a tendency to leave things unfinished.
Western reading: The fifth of D'Arpentigny's seven types.
