Man, in profiel naar links 1892 - 1913

This drawing of a man in profile, made by Bramine Hubrecht, seems to emerge tentatively from the page, like a thought barely formed. I wonder, what was she thinking as she worked? You can almost feel her hand moving across the paper, lightly sketching the contours of the face. The lines are so delicate, so searching, as if she's trying to capture not just the likeness of the man, but also something of his inner world. I see echoes of other artists in her work, those who sought to reveal the hidden depths of the human psyche, like Paula Modersohn-Becker. There's a shared intimacy, a sense of connection between artist and subject. Hubrecht reminds us that art is not just about what we see, but how we see—our perceptions, our feelings, our way of being in the world.
