Vrouw met een knot op het hoofd en gesloten ogen Possibly 1943

"Vrouw met een knot op het hoofd en gesloten ogen" (Woman with a bun on her head and closed eyes) is a pen-and-ink drawing by the Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, dating from possibly 1943. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman's head in profile, characterized by a distinct bun and closed eyes. It is a powerful example of de Mesquita's signature style, characterized by precise, detailed lines and a focus on the human figure. The drawing is a compelling example of de Mesquita's late works, capturing the artist's interest in the human form and the passage of time.
