"Vrouwenhoofd" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dated circa 1915-1925. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the side profile of a woman's face, emphasizing her features with loose, gestural lines. The dynamic and expressive style reflects Israels' skill in capturing fleeting moments, a characteristic of his oeuvre.
