Kers en een vrouwenkop c. 1892

This charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Julie de Graag, dating back to c. 1892, features a partially rendered female head and a single cherry. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases de Graag's interest in natural forms and simple compositions, characteristic of her style. The sketch-like quality of the drawing, with its unfinished lines, adds a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the subject matter. The juxtaposition of the human form and the fruit suggests a connection between the natural world and the human experience, a common theme in de Graag's artistic exploration.
