Study of Head and Shoulders of Woman with Headdress 1833 - 1898

Felicien Rops's "Study of Head and Shoulders of Woman with Headdress" is a pencil drawing that captures the delicate features of a woman's face. The woman, who is wearing a hat, is depicted in a simple yet elegant style. This small study showcases Rops's mastery of capturing the human form through detailed line work and subtle shading. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Rops's keen interest in portraying the female figure, a theme that frequently appears in his work.
