Compositie met zes hoofden van verschillende mannen en de kop van een hond 1805 - 1844

"Compositie met zes hoofden van verschillende mannen en de kop van een hond" is a drawing by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin, created between 1805 and 1844, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts six different male heads, ranging in age and attire, alongside a dog's head, all rendered with a high level of detail. The composition is arranged in a seemingly random fashion, suggesting a study of individual features rather than a unified portrait. Claussin's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the delicate lines and subtle shading, characteristic of his draftsmanship. This work exemplifies the artist's exploration of human and animal anatomy, contributing to the broader field of artistic study in the early 19th century.
