Hoofd van een vrouw 1912

"Hoofd van een vrouw" (Head of a Woman) is a 1912 woodcut by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of Schelfhout's use of simplified forms and bold lines to create a portrait with a strong sense of presence. The woman's face is emphasized by the use of light and shadow, and the overall effect is one of intensity and focus. Schelfhout's work, which often explored themes of identity and expression, is known for its modernist style and its influence on later generations of artists.
