Charcoal portrait, made in 2018. This drawing was part of the Rembrandt exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in 2019.

I love working with shadows! Especially here, where the shadow is almost hiding parts of her face. It adds to the mystery, making me curious to find out what’s there…

Charcoal on bristol paper, size A3 (approx. 11.7 x 16.5 inch).
