Meisjeshoofd en handen 1820 - 1830

"Meisjeshoofd en handen" (Girl's Head and Hands) is a pencil drawing by Jean Augustin Daiwaille, a Belgian artist who lived from 1786 to 1850. This study in the Neoclassical style, created between 1820 and 1830, depicts the head and hands of a young woman, rendered in delicate detail and a soft, melancholic expression. This drawing showcases Daiwaille's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of human anatomy and emotion. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work is a testament to the artist's exploration of classical themes and his contribution to the artistic legacy of the 19th century.
