Hoofd van een meisje c. 1884 - 1887

"Hoofd van een meisje" (Head of a Girl) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, dated circa 1884-1887. The drawing features a simple, almost minimalist depiction of a girl’s head, upside down, with only subtle details of her face and hair visible. Witsen is known for his drawings and paintings, which often portray scenes from daily life. This drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies his artistic focus on capturing fleeting moments and everyday subjects in a realistic and understated manner.
