Portret van Elsje Lukwel 1906

"Portret van Elsje Lukwel" is a pencil drawing by Jan Toorop, a Dutch artist known for his symbolic and expressive style. Created in 1906, the artwork depicts a young woman in profile, her flowing hair and delicate features capturing the essence of the sitter. The drawing's soft lines and nuanced shading create a sense of depth and intimacy, characteristic of Toorop's artistic approach. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subjects through a refined and minimalist aesthetic.
