Vrouwen, de hoofden naar rechts gebogen 1849 - 1917

"Vrouwen, de hoofden naar rechts gebogen" is a pencil sketch by Dutch symbolist artist Matthijs Maris, dated between 1849 and 1917. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three women with their heads bowed. The gestural lines of the sketch are suggestive and create a sense of mystery, reflecting Maris's interest in symbolism and psychological depth. The artist's distinctive style, characterized by elongated figures and subtle, almost ethereal lines, is evident in this work, which offers a glimpse into his creative process.
