Head of a Woman is a 1899 oil by Romain Looymans, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting features a woman with her head tilted slightly to the right, her eyes closed, and her face serene. Her dark hair is covered by a white cloth that drapes over her head and shoulders. She wears a dark-colored garment with a white collar visible at the neck. The background of the painting is a muted greenish-brown color. The woman's face is rendered in soft, gentle brushstrokes, with subtle variations in tone and texture that give the impression of depth and dimensionality. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and introspection.
