Academiestudie met Romeinse kop met helm 1876 - 1924

This charcoal drawing, titled "Academiestudie met Romeinse kop met helm," is a study of a Roman bust by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof. The piece, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the detail of the bust's features, including the helmeted head, beard, and the drapery around the bust's shoulders. The study reveals Dijsselhof's skilled use of charcoal to convey the three-dimensional form of the bust. The drawing, created between 1876 and 1924, exemplifies the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of classical sculpture.
