Vrouwenhoofd met haardecoratie c. 1886 - 1903

"Vrouwenhoofd met haardecoratie" (Woman's Head with Hair Decoration) is a charcoal drawing by Isaac Israels, created between 1886 and 1903. This quick sketch, held in the Rijksmuseum, captures a woman's face in profile with a focus on the elaborate detail of her hair. The artist's loose and expressive lines create a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, characteristic of his drawing style. This work exemplifies Israels' interest in capturing fleeting moments and the essence of his subjects, often drawn from everyday life.
