The Pieta is one of the most beautiful pieces of sculpture ever created. The human expression on Mary’s face is astonishingly focused. The nail prints however are in the hand not the wrists, so the work was not as accurate as to be factual, but it is a beautiful piece of work.
People back then didn’t know that the nailed hands were incapable of supporting the body during crucifixion.
Incidentally, if you want to get super hissy-fit about it, why did Jesus say to Thomas, “behold my hands”
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
The other disciples therefore said unto him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said unto them, “Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.” And after eight days again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
“Peace be unto you.”
Then saith He to Thomas,
“Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing.”
And Thomas answered and said unto him, “My Lord and my God.” Jesus saith unto him,
“Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
John 20:24-29

See, I didn’t even use a “Catholic” source.
And if you poke around on (say) BibleHub.com, I don’t see anything that indicates the word hands meant “hand and/or wrist”.
For example looking at all uses of the word translated “hand” in that verse:

Why do you say the nail prints are in the wrists?
