HTML & CSS Resize a img in a div that needs a specific position on page

I need to position a div and have it fixed to the top and the right side of the page and then have the image inside of it scale when the window size changes. I feel like I am missing something simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

HTML: 
<html>
<head>
<style>
img {
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}
    
    #hand_holder{
    position:absolute;
    width: auto;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

    <div id="hand_holder"><img src="images/hand.png"></div>

</body>
</html>

The width of 100% on the image means it will fill 100% of the div it sits inside of, however you don't have a size set on the div. You can use viewport width to set the width as a percentage of the browser width, such as width: 50vw which is 50% of the browser width.

Viewport units have been around for several years now, with near-perfect support in the major browsers, but I keep finding new and exciting ways to use them.
