Kop van een vrouw, genaamd 'A fair beauty'

Matthijs Maris's painting, titled "Kop van een vrouw, genaamd 'A fair beauty'" ("Head of a Woman, Called 'A Fair Beauty'"), was created between 1870 and 1912 using oil paint on canvas. The artwork features the head of a woman, positioned slightly to the right, with her mouth open as if in mid-expression. The background is dark and muted, creating a contrast that draws attention to the figure's features, though details are obscured and soft. The painting's enigmatic quality invites consideration of the woman's identity and emotions, reflecting Maris's interest in the human form and expression throughout his career.
