It depicts a stylized head in profile, with the subject's features reduced to minimal lines. The drawing is characterized by the artist's unique style, known for its expressive lines and use of negative space. The piece is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The simplicity of the composition and the starkness of the lines give the artwork a powerful and haunting feel. The drawing is a prime example of Jessurun de Mesquita's exploration of form and expression through minimalist means.
