Meisjeskopje 1871 - 1906

"Meisjeskopje" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Pieter de Josselin de Jong, created between 1871 and 1906. This intimate portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases de Jong's talent for capturing the delicate features of a young girl. The drawing, measuring 345mm by 250mm, portrays the girl with a downcast gaze, her features softened by the artist's expressive use of shading. De Jong's mastery of line and shadow creates a sense of depth and emotion, highlighting the beauty and vulnerability of his subject.
