Hoofd van een onthoofde man 1839 - 1909

"Hoofd van een onthoofde man" is a print by the Dutch artist Auguste Danse. This powerful image depicts a close-up of a man's head, seemingly detached from his body, and features a stark contrast of light and shadow. The man's open mouth and contorted expression convey a sense of pain and agony, highlighting the brutality of the subject matter. The piece is an example of Danse's skillful use of realism and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
