Portret van een jonge vrouw 1841 - 1887

"Portret van een jonge vrouw" (Portrait of a young woman) is a drawing by Anna Cécile Wilhelmina Jeanette Jacqueline Nahuys, a Dutch artist born in 1826. Created between 1841 and 1887, the artwork depicts a young woman with her head bowed, likely in prayer. The detailed linework, characteristic of Nahuys’s style, creates a sense of intimacy and contemplation, highlighting the subject’s quiet devotion. The drawing's small size, 159 mm by 102 mm, suggests a personal study, perhaps a private devotional piece.
