"Kop" (Head), a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, is a study of a man's profile, rendered in ink on paper. The artwork, created between 1840 and 1880, captures a detailed, expressive depiction of the head. Tavenraat, known for his portraits and genre scenes, uses the simple medium of ink to convey depth and character in this small-scale work now held in the Rijksmuseum.
