You see a small, smudged drawing of a woman’s face in profile, her hair tied back and her gaze turned away. No one knows who made it or even what it’s made of—ink, chalk, or something else. It was tucked inside a big book of old sketches at the Rijksmuseum, like a loose page in a family album. The soft lines suggest someone practiced quickly, maybe just for themselves. To see more quiet, unsigned works like this, explore the Rijksmuseum.
