Meisje met kap op het hoofd 1866 - 1918

"Meisje met kap op het hoofd" (Girl with a hood on her head) is an etching by Dutch artist Wally Moes, created between 1866 and 1918. This delicate print depicts a young girl in profile, her head covered by a simple hood, her gaze directed downwards. The artist's skillful use of hatching and cross-hatching create a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall realism of the portrait. Moes's work is known for its focus on everyday life and the portrayal of ordinary people, often with a melancholic undertone. This etching exemplifies this approach, capturing the quiet introspection of the young girl. This print is a fine example of the artist's talent for capturing the essence of human emotion with minimal detail.
