Right Hand of Pierre and Jacques de Wissant at The Musée Rodin, Paris

Rodin worked on the hands of certain Burghers of Calais separately so as to heighten their power of expression. To achieve this effect, he used different techniques for each brother's hand. Although Pierre and Jacques de Wissant share the same left and right hands, the result was distinct for each figure. Pierre de Wissant's right hand sweeps upward in a gesture of self-denial, while Jacques de Wissant's hand is drawn back towards his face, implying doubt and questioning. The isolated hand forms a standalone work, not just a study or fragment. When Rodin displayed it standing upright on a wooden plinth, he transformed it into an independent exhibit with its own value. This same hand later appeared in "The Hand of God," where tiny figures of Adam and Eve seemed to emerge from the dust. This sculpture became a symbol of creation itself. As George Bernard Shaw noted about Rodin's work: "The Hand of God" is his own hand, a testament to his mastery.
