Painting Description
"Head of a Woman" (1522) is a notable artwork by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, a master portraitist of the Northern Renaissance. This drawing, executed in black and colored chalks on pink-primed paper, is a testament to Holbein's skill in capturing the human form with precision and sensitivity. The work measures 37.5 cm by 27.9 cm and is part of a collection of Holbein's studies of individual features and heads, which served as preparatory works for his more elaborate paintings.
The drawing is characterized by its meticulous detail and the artist's understanding of anatomical structure, which is evident in the delicate rendering of the woman's features. The subject's identity remains unknown, but her attire and the style of her headdress suggest she was a woman of some standing, possibly from the court or the upper echelons of society in the early 16th century. The woman's gaze is averted, giving the portrait a sense of introspection and poise.
Hans Holbein the Younger, born in Augsburg and active in Basel and later in England, was renowned for his portraits of the European elite, including those of King Henry VIII and his court. "Head of a Woman" (1522) is a fine example of Holbein's work during his early period before he became court painter to Henry VIII. The drawing is held in high esteem for its artistry and as an example of Holbein's contribution to the development of portraiture.
The artwork is currently housed in a prominent museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of Northern Renaissance portraiture. "Head of a Woman" (1522) by Hans Holbein the Younger remains an important piece for scholars interested in the evolution of European art and the role of portraiture in society.
