Profielkop van een monnik c. 1790 - 1852

"Profielkop van een monnik" (Profile of a Monk) is a drawing executed in graphite, chalk, and washes by Dutch artist Pieter Christoffel Wonder, circa 1790-1852. The drawing depicts the profile of a monk, whose face and head are turned towards the right of the composition. The monk's head is bald, and his long white beard and hair are rendered in detail. The drawing's delicate rendering of the figure's form and attention to detail are characteristic of Wonder's artistic style.
