Vrouwenhoofd 1875 - 1934

"Vrouwenhoofd" (Woman's Head), a 19th-century ink drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, captures the essence of a woman's profile. The quick, gestural lines and the focus on the form of the head and neck reveal Israels's artistic style, characterized by a blend of realism and impressionism. The artwork's simplicity and expressiveness leave a lasting impact on the viewer, showcasing the artist's adeptness in capturing human form through a minimalist approach. This work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Israels's artistic journey and his profound understanding of human anatomy.
