Jonge vrouw leunend tegen een kussen before 1928

"Jonge vrouw leunend tegen een kussen" (Young Woman Leaning Against a Cushion) is a 19th-century etching by the Dutch symbolist artist Jan Toorop. The artwork is a delicate, intimate portrait of a young woman with a melancholic expression, and is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. Toorop, known for his expressive line work and use of chiaroscuro, depicts the woman in a contemplative pose, her figure subtly defined against a textured background. The etching's small scale and delicate details contribute to its intimate and introspective nature, highlighting Toorop's mastery of the medium.
