Koppen met hoge hoeden 1840 - 1880

"Koppen met hoge hoeden" (Heads with Tall Hats) is a pen and ink drawing created between 1840 and 1880 by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, known for his caricatures and portraits. The drawing depicts two men in profile, their faces exaggerated and comical, wearing tall hats. Tavenraat's distinctive style, characterized by bold lines and expressive details, is evident in this small-scale work. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases Tavenraat's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects through subtle humor and a keen eye for detail.
