Hoofd van een meisje 1660

"Hoofd van een meisje" is a 1660 charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Moses ter Borch, currently located in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing is a simple yet expressive portrait of a young girl, depicted with her eyes closed, her head tilted down, possibly in contemplation or prayer. Ter Borch was known for his intimate and expressive portraiture, and this drawing is a perfect example of his artistic style, which was highly valued in the 17th century.
