Kop van een vrouw en kind 1862

This artwork, *Kop van een vrouw en kind* (Head of a Woman and Child), is a study in line and form by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, created in 1862. The piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, features two profile drawings rendered in brown ink on paper, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the human figure in a simple yet expressive manner. The delicate lines of the drawings suggest a quick study, perhaps a moment captured from life, revealing the artist's keen observation of the human form.
