Hoofd van een vrouw 1875 - 1934

"Hoofd van een vrouw" is a simple yet powerful pencil sketch by Isaac Israels, a prominent Dutch artist. The work, created between 1875 and 1934, depicts a woman's head in profile, capturing a fleeting moment of contemplation. Israels' use of subtle lines creates a sense of depth and emotion, leaving the viewer to imagine the woman's thoughts and feelings. This sketch is a fine example of Israels' mastery of the human form and his ability to convey profound emotion with minimal means. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the timeless allure of portraiture.
