Studieblad met hoofden 1756 - 1817

"Studie blad met hoofden" (Study Sheet with Heads) is a small-scale etching on paper by Louis Bernard Coclers, dating to between 1756 and 1817. The artwork features two heads, one of a young woman with her hair pulled back and the other of an older woman with her hair covered by a bonnet. The simple composition of the artwork, featuring two heads in profile against a blank background, highlights Coclers's interest in the human form and his ability to capture subtle nuances of expression in just a few lines. This drawing is a great example of Coclers' work as an artist, and demonstrates his skilled use of etching and detailed observations.
