Hoofd van een vrouw met een haarband 1657 - 1704

"Hoofd van een vrouw met een haarband," is a graphite drawing created between 1657 and 1704 by Dutch artist David van der Plas, known for his portraits and figure studies. The drawing depicts a woman's head with a simple headband, capturing the subject's delicate features and downcast gaze with a sense of realism. The careful rendering of the woman's face suggests the study of classical sculpture, a key influence on van der Plas's work. The drawing's small dimensions (138 mm x 98 mm) further indicate that it was likely a private study or preparatory work for a larger composition.
