This 1766 etching by Pierre Charles Ingouf, titled *Hoofd van een kind, naar rechts gekeerd,* depicts the profile of a young child's head, turned to the right. The detailed lines of the etching create a realistic portrayal of the child's features, particularly the delicate contours of the face and the flowing strands of hair. The work's intimate scale and focus on the child's expression underscores the popularity of childhood portraiture in 18th century art. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
