    That is "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I have seen it copied on T-shirts and in a cartoon in "Playboy: magazine. Both of these have God telling Adam to pull his finger.

It illustrates the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which God gives life to Adam, the first man.
