Meisje liggend met gebogen hoofd, vermoedelijk in een kist c. 1885 - 1902

This graphite drawing by Dutch painter Jozef Israëls, dated between 1885-1902, is a study of a young girl's head. The artist's signature realistic style is evident in the detailed rendering of the subject's features. The sketch is likely a preliminary study for a larger work, showcasing Israëls's process of capturing the human figure in a delicate and expressive manner. The drawing is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
