Hi Jan,
At a first glance I think that the hand works fine in the picture. It is there and is finished to a degree that balances with the head. I also like the color and value scheme, it's nice and sun filled.
But, for critic, I think that your drawing is a bit loose. Since the brushwork is so broad and freely applied I should like to have the feeling that the drawing is solid. I don't say that you should draw all details, but that the few, that are chosen, must be in the right places.
Especially the placement of the nose and the shape of the neck. Maybe, if you work on the drawing, you will find that you could take the hand further too.
