Hoofd van een vrouw 1841 - 1842

"Hoofd van een vrouw" (Head of a Woman), an 1841-1842 etching by Guillaume Joseph Vertommen, depicts a woman's face in close-up. Her features are rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing likeness and emotion. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, enhancing the intimate nature of the portrait. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Vertommen's contribution to the development of portraiture in 19th-century art.
