Kop van een slapende man 1878 - 1938

"Kop van een slapende man" (Head of a Sleeping Man) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst between 1878 and 1938. The artwork depicts a close-up view of a man’s head lying on its side, with only a portion of his body visible in the background. The detailed lines and shading highlight the form of the face, ear, and hair, creating a sense of realism. This drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and is a testament to Holst's mastery of portraiture. The drawing likely portrays a person of importance in the artist's life or a study for a larger composition.
