Foot and Hand, one of Lichtenstein’s earliest pop art prints, is inspired by comic books of the time. This image of a booted foot stepping on a hand reaching for a pistol is drawn from the comic Billy the Kid #43 (b), published in December 1963 by Charlton Comics Group. The dramatic scene is colored in the artist’s iconic primary palate and uses his signature Ben-Day dots.
