Meisjeskopje, driekwart naar rechts 1834 - 1911

This delicate pencil drawing, “Meisjeskopje, driekwart naar rechts”, created by Jozef Israëls between 1834 and 1911, showcases the artist's masterful portrayal of a young girl's head in profile. The gentle lines and subtle shading capture a sense of innocence and vulnerability, characteristic of Israëls' realist style. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Israëls' keen observation and ability to convey emotion through the simple medium of pencil on paper.
