Portret van een figuur met een helm, aan de rechterzijde omlijst door een gordijn c. 1894

This pencil sketch by Julie de Graag, a Dutch artist known for her portraits and figure studies, is a study for a larger composition. Dated around 1894, it features a bust-length profile portrait of a figure wearing a helmet, framed by a curtain. The loose, expressive lines suggest a study for a more formal work, capturing the artist's process of developing ideas. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into de Graag's artistic practice and exploration of form and composition.
