Vrouwenhoofd, in profiel c. 1886 - 1903

"Vrouwenhoofd, in profiel" (Woman's Head, in Profile) is a charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist Isaac Israels between 1886 and 1903. The piece, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, features a simple yet expressive profile of a woman, capturing a moment of quiet introspection. Israels, known for his evocative portrayals of everyday life, utilized loose, gestural strokes to capture the essence of his subject, highlighting the delicate lines of the face and the subtle contours of the figure. This drawing is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing human emotion and presence within a minimalist composition.
