Vrouwenhoofd, in profiel 1875 - 1934

"Vrouwenhoofd, in profiel" is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and figure studies. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman's head in profile, capturing a sense of intimacy and realism through the artist's delicate lines. The subtle use of shading and the rough texture of the charcoal create a sense of immediacy and informality, typical of sketches made during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, showcases Israels' mastery of capturing human likeness and his keen eye for detail.
