Albrecht Durer
Durer won. After he became a famous artist, he returned to keep his part of the agreement. By then, however, the years of hard labor had caused his friend's hands to become twisted and gnarled, and he could no longer use them for the delicate brush strokes of an artist. Franz told Durer that he was happy that his labor had helped to produce such a great artist. Durer looked at the hands that had supported him all those years, and sketched them. The sketch became his popular masterpiece — the "Praying Hands."
