Profilhoved af en ung pige, vendt mod højre 1887

"Profilhoved af en ung pige, vendt mod højre" (Profile Head of a Young Girl, Facing Right) is a delicate etching by Danish artist Frans Schwartz, created in 1887. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the profile of a young woman, her gaze directed downwards. The artist’s use of subtle lines and shading creates a sense of intimacy and introspection. The small size of the work, measuring just 132 mm by 104 mm, emphasizes the delicate features of the subject and the intimacy of the portrait. The work exemplifies Schwartz’s talent for capturing the essence of his subjects through refined and precise etching techniques.
