Part of a series of works that Jet van Zijl commissioned between 1994 and 2001 for Stichting Zorg voor Ouderen and Stichting Wonen voor Ouderen, intended for care centers in Oss, Megen, Herpen and Schaijk. The hands formed the central, connecting theme of this series. This specific piece, a set of two connected hands, was specially commissioned by the Foundation(s) for the board members, produced in a limited edition. Provenance and explanation have been confirmed directly by the artist. The work is also depicted in the artist’s monograph under the title "In Goeie Handen". The current owner has mounted the sculpture on his own wooden pedestal, lying down, supported by two metal rods. Total weight including pedestal: 6.6 kg.
