Are you talking about King David? Where is a statue of him? Or do you mean Michelangelo's David, who is a shepherd boy. He is holding a slingshot to fight Goliath the giant.

In the painting The Lord's Image by Heinrich Hofmann should the figure of Jesus be holding his left or right hand up in front of his body?

My mother owns a framed print of the original painting where the artist's signature was also printed at the bottom right of the painting. Jesus is holding up his LEFT HAND in this painting. If the painting were reversed as in many reproductions of this particular one, you will notice the artist's signature is absent because it will otherwise be in reverse as well. Hope this helps!

Why Michelangelo's David's right hand is too large?

We just got back from Florence and that was my first impression of the statue as well when I saw it. Someone there explained that the statue was intended to be placed at the top of a building instead of at ground level where it currently sits. As such, from a distance the hand would have been plainly visible however not so much out of proportion which I agree it certainly is.
