Hoofd van een koffiepikster c. 1886 - 1934

"Hoofd van een koffiepikster" (Head of a Coffee Picker), is a drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, completed between 1886 and 1934. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a simple yet expressive sketch, capturing the profile of a woman in a single, gestural stroke. The drawing's loose and fluid lines, combined with subtle shading, create a sense of dynamism and depth. This is a typical example of Israels' style, known for its informal approach and focus on capturing the essence of his subjects. The drawing is a powerful reminder of the human element in Israels' work, and the enduring power of his artistic vision.
