Hoofd van een man met hoed 1834 - 1911

This pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls, titled "Hoofd van een man met hoed," depicts a man in profile wearing a hat. The subtle lines and shading create a sense of realism, while the minimalist composition focuses the viewer's attention on the subject's face. The drawing, executed between 1834 and 1911, exemplifies Israëls' mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a few simple strokes. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
