Vrouw, naar boven kijkend 1848 - 1927

"Vrouw, naar boven kijkend" (Woman, looking up) is a charcoal and chalk drawing by Dutch artist August Allebé, created between 1848 and 1927. The drawing features a woman shrouded in a cloak, her face obscured, looking upwards, perhaps at a religious figure. The artist's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and mystery, highlighting the woman's contemplative pose and the intricate folds of her garment. This intimate study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects Allebé's focus on human form and expression.
