Studie van een vrouw, op de rug gezien 1853

This small, detailed pencil sketch titled *Studie van een vrouw, op de rug gezien* by Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os, depicts the back of a woman's head, likely a study for a larger work. The subtle shading and fine lines, created in 1853, capture the texture of her hair and the folds of her clothing. This intimate work demonstrates van Os' skill as a draftsman and provides insight into his artistic process, offering a glimpse behind the scenes of his creative practice.
