About

Shadow Hand Bra Redraws is a redraw meme trend based on a piece of art by Francesco Dezio, and a photograph of a woman recreating the art, showing a woman with her hands held straight out in front of her body, the light casting the shadow shaped like her hands covering her breasts. The original art was painted in 2021, and the photograph recreating it went viral on X / Twitter in mid-April 2026, inspiring redraws that month in which popular characters replace the woman in the photo.

Origin

In 2021, artist Francesco Dezio released a painting of a woman with her hands held straight in front of her body, causing the light of the sun to cast a shadow shaped like her hands over her breasts, like a hand bra.

The post went further viral when, later that day, X^[3] user @byramonade quote-reposted it, writing, "this is why nonsexual nudity in art is peak," gaining over 450,000 likes and 6.2 million views in six days.
