Portret van een meisje 1834 - 1911

"Portret van een meisje" is a pencil drawing by the Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, created between 1834 and 1911. It depicts a young girl with a somber expression, her features rendered with meticulous detail. The delicate hatching and cross-hatching techniques create a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the subtle contours of her face. This intimate portrait, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into Israëls' masterful skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, a hallmark of his realist style.
