Zittende vrouw met afgewend hoofd 1811 - 1873

"Zittende vrouw met afgewend hoofd" is a drawing by Pieter van Loon, created between 1811 and 1873 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts a seated woman with her head turned away from the viewer, resting her hand on her chin in a pose of contemplation. Executed in black ink on paper, the artist uses a loose and expressive style to capture the figure's form and the flow of her dress. The simple composition and subtle details create a sense of intimacy and invite viewers to consider the woman's thoughts and emotions.
