Hoofd van een kind, naar rechts gekeerd c. 1766

This etching, "Hoofd van een kind, naar rechts gekeerd," created in 1766 by French artist Pierre Charles Ingouf (1746-1800), depicts the head of a child, looking to the right. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the detailed anatomical observation and precise linework characteristic of Ingouf’s style. The delicate lines and shading highlight the child's features, emphasizing the innocence and youthfulness of the subject. Ingouf's work in etching contributed significantly to the development of portraiture, particularly the depiction of children, during the 18th century.
