Hoofd van neerziende vrouw 1683 - 1733

"Hoofd van neerziende vrouw" is a red chalk drawing created by Dutch artist Bernard Picart between 1683 and 1733. The drawing depicts a man draped in a sheet, with his right arm raised, holding the sheet with his hand. The man is sitting, with his head lowered and his face turned downwards, creating a sense of melancholy. This piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Picart's mastery in capturing the human form and conveying emotion through subtle details.
