Hoofd van een vrouw met opgestoken haar c. 1916

"Hoofd van een vrouw met opgestoken haar" (Head of a woman with up-swept hair) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created around 1916. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a woman’s profile, with her hair styled in a manner popular during the early 20th century. Stolk's use of bold, expressive lines, reminiscent of Expressionist art, gives the drawing a dynamic energy and conveys the sitter's presence. The artist's focus on form and simplification of details emphasizes the emotional impact of the subject, offering a glimpse into Stolk's stylistic evolution during the early years of his career.
