Hoofd van een meisje Possibly 1893 - 1895

"Hoofd van een meisje," a monochrome etching by Camille Bourget, depicts the head of a young woman with her hair pulled back from her face, her eyes looking directly at the viewer, and a pensive expression. The etching is a study in light and shadow, and Bourget uses careful linework and subtle shading to capture the subtle details of the subject's face. The piece is a great example of late 19th-century realist portraiture. While the subject's identity remains unknown, it is likely a portrait of a young woman from Bourget's social circle.
