"Hoofd van een vrouw met een parelketting" (Head of a Woman with a Pearl Necklace) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created around 1916. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, displays a striking use of hatching to define the contours of the woman's face and the delicate pearl necklace. Stolk's signature, placed in the lower right corner, adds a personal touch to this intriguing, unfinished portrait. The gridded background hints at a careful and calculated approach to representation, typical of academic drawing traditions.
