About this work

You see a small, smudged drawing of a woman in profile, her hair piled high and a ribbon around her neck. No one knows who made it or even what it’s drawn with—chalk, pencil, 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 it was done quickly, maybe just to remember a face. To see more unknown works like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
