Picasso has laid special emphasis on the hands of the crucified figure, in fact in "The Unknown Masterpiece," the crucified figure has three hands, each of which are drawn in a different style.
This special emphasis of Picasso's crucifixion hands is a characteristic that was noted by Lydia Gasman, in her Phd, "Mystery, Magic and Love in Picasso, 1925-1938: Picasso and the Surrealist Poets," Columbia University, 1981.
