Schets van een vrouwenhoofd, in profiel naar rechts 1844

"Schets van een vrouwenhoofd, in profiel naar rechts" (Sketch of a Woman's Head, in Profile to the Right) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os, dated 1844. The small-scale sketch depicts a woman's head in profile, with her face obscured by shadow, and her hair covered by a bonnet with a bow. The artwork's quick, gestural lines highlight van Os's keen observation of human form and his interest in capturing a fleeting moment. This drawing is a testament to the artist's mastery of the pencil and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
