This anonymous etching, titled “Hoofd van een vrouw in een staat van aanbidding” (Head of a Woman in a State of Adoration) depicts a woman in profile, her head bowed in prayer. The detailed rendering of the woman's features, particularly her flowing hair, suggests a possible date of creation between 1732 and 1738. This drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a captivating example of 18th-century European art, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing a moment of intense devotion. The etching's intimate scale and realistic portrayal create a powerful sense of introspection and spiritual contemplation.
