Vrouwenhoofd 1887 - 1934

"Vrouwenhoofd" (Woman's Head), a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, is a study of a woman's profile. Created between 1887 and 1934, the piece is characterized by its loose and gestural lines, suggesting a quick sketch capturing the essence of the subject. The work exemplifies Israels' mastery of capturing human form with minimal detail, allowing for a focus on expression and mood. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into Israels' creative process and his artistic exploration of the human figure.
