"Hoofden" is a charcoal sketch on paper by Dutch painter Isaac Israels. The artwork, created between 1875 and 1934, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing features a figure with a strong outline in the center, and the composition is dominated by the figure's silhouette and the artist's quick, expressive strokes. This piece offers an intimate glimpse into Israels' artistic process and his fascination with capturing human form.
