Hoofd van een stervende man 1867 - 1923

"Hoofd van een stervende man" (Head of a Dying Man) is a graphite drawing created by George Hendrik Breitner between 1867 and 1923. The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the face of a man in a state of repose, possibly death. The artist uses delicate lines and subtle shading to capture the anatomical detail of the face, highlighting the man's closed eyes and relaxed expression. The drawing, a study in realism, showcases Breitner's skillful hand and his interest in capturing human emotion through fine detail.
