"Haar van een meisje" (Girl's hair) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, dated c. 1885-1911. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum and depicts a simple yet evocative sketch of a girl's hair, likely a study for a larger work. Israëls, known for his realist depictions of everyday life, often used sketches as a way to capture fleeting moments and intimate details, making this piece a fascinating glimpse into his artistic process. The delicate lines and subtle shading of the drawing showcase Israëls' keen observation and sensitivity to his subject.
