Vrouw met hoofddoek 1876 - 1924

"Vrouw met hoofddoek" (Woman with headscarf), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), is a simple yet striking portrait. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman's head and shoulders, with her face partially obscured by a headscarf. Dijsselhof's minimalist style and use of loose lines create a sense of intimacy and suggest a fleeting moment captured in time. The drawing’s small scale (137 x 109 mm) adds to its intimate quality, inviting viewers to focus on the subtle details of the woman's expression and the texture of the paper.
