Meisjeskopje in profiel naar links 1845

This small drawing, created in 1845 by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a woman in profile facing left. The woman wears a shawl that covers her head, and her clothing suggests a more historical time period. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a delicate example of Tavenraat's style. The artist, known for his portraits and genre scenes, captures the subject's likeness with subtle detail and delicate lines. The small size of the drawing (72 mm x 71 mm) adds to its intimate quality.
