Portret van een vrouw, van opzij gezien 1843 - 1844

Johannes Tavenraat's "Portret van een vrouw, van opzij gezien" is a simple yet expressive pencil drawing. The composition focuses on the profile of a woman, her head tilted slightly upwards, creating a sense of contemplation. Created in 1843-1844, the drawing displays the artist's skill in capturing subtle details of the human form, evident in the delicate lines defining her hair and the slight curve of her neck. The work is a testament to the enduring power of portraiture in capturing individual character and beauty. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the work of this Dutch artist.
