Kop van een oude vrouw 1777 - 1779

"Kop van een oude vrouw" (Head of an Old Woman) is a small, detailed drawing by the Dutch artist Pieter de Mare, created between 1777 and 1779. De Mare, known for his portraits and genre scenes, captures the wrinkles and lines on the woman's face with a high level of realism, showcasing his keen observation skills. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of de Mare's mastery of line and detail, offering a poignant glimpse into the aging process.
