"Head of a Girl" is a haunting etching created by Dutch artist Matthijs Maris between 1881 and 1884, currently held at the Rijksmuseum. The work features a shadowy, almost obscured, female figure, her face and features barely discernible, suggesting a sense of mystery and introspection. Maris's masterful use of etching technique, evident in the delicate lines and subtle shading, contributes to the evocative and ethereal atmosphere of the piece.
