Studieblad met koppen van katten c. 1884 - 1887

"Studie blad met koppen van katten," a charcoal sketch by Willem Witsen, depicts a series of cat heads in various positions. Created between 1884 and 1887, this work is a study of feline anatomy and a testament to the Dutch artist's keen eye for detail. Witsen's loose, expressive lines capture the essence of his subjects, emphasizing their natural grace and personality. This sketch, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artist's process and his dedication to capturing the world around him in a realistic yet sensitive manner.
