Hoofd van vrouw met hoofddoek 1767

"Hoofd van vrouw met hoofddoek" (Head of a Woman with a Headscarf) is a 1767 drawing by Gilles Demarteau. The drawing depicts the head of a woman wearing a headscarf, rendered with meticulous detail in black and red chalk. The woman’s eyes are closed, and her head is slightly tilted down, giving the impression of contemplation or repose. Demarteau’s work is characterized by its realism and expressive use of line, making this drawing a fine example of 18th-century portraiture and a testament to the artist’s skill.
