This pencil drawing, *Studie van een vrouw met ranken in het haar* (Study of a Woman with Tendrils in Her Hair), depicts a woman in profile, possibly a study for a larger composition. Created by David-Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville, a Swiss artist, this drawing showcases his keen observation of human anatomy and refined draftsmanship. The delicate lines and subtle shading capture the form and texture of the woman's hair and clothing, highlighting his mastery of the medium. The piece is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Superville's artistic process and the beauty of his detailed studies.
