Hoofd c. 1892 - 1900

"Hoofd" (Head), a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, is a sketch of a head and shoulders. The image is rendered in loose, gestural lines, typical of Israels' style. The artist's use of expressive lines and a minimal amount of detail gives a sense of immediacy to the work. The drawing, created around 1892 - 1900, is an example of Israels' early exploration of expressive line and form. The work is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.
