Gesluierde Arabische vrouw 1867 - 1923

"Gesluierde Arabische vrouw" (Veiled Arab Woman) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1867 and 1923. The drawing depicts a woman in a veil, her face obscured, and seated with her hands clasped. The work is rendered in a loose, expressive style with strong contrasts of light and shadow. Breitner's interest in the exotic, captured through his travels to North Africa, is evident in the subject matter. This artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
