Vrouwenhoofd 1875 - 1934

"Vrouwenhoofd" (Woman's Head) is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, a Dutch painter and draftsman known for his depictions of everyday life. Created between 1875 and 1934, the piece is a study of a woman’s face, characterized by loose, gestural strokes that emphasize the subject’s features. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Israels's mastery of capturing human expression with simplicity and raw emotion, showcasing the artist's interest in portraying ordinary individuals with authentic detail.
