Portret van een vrouw, kijkend over de rechterschouder 1865 - 1913

This drawing was made by Bramine Hubrecht, a Dutch artist, in the late 19th or early 20th century. It captures a woman looking over her right shoulder, rendered in a soft, expressive style. During this time, the Netherlands experienced significant social and cultural shifts, including evolving roles for women. Hubrecht, as a female artist, would have had to navigate a world often dominated by men in the art world. The loose, sketch-like quality of the drawing may reflect an interest in capturing fleeting moments and psychological depth, ideas that were gaining traction with the rise of impressionism and early modernism, artistic movements that questioned academic artistic conventions. To understand Hubrecht’s contribution to Dutch art, scholars might consult exhibition catalogs and period reviews, piecing together a picture of her position in the artistic landscape of her time. In doing so, we start to see art as something rooted in particular conditions.
