Mannen- en vrouwenkoppen 1864 - 1880

"Mannen- en vrouwenkoppen" (Heads of Men and Women) is a collection of sketches by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his portraiture and genre paintings. Created between 1864 and 1880, the work showcases Tavenraat's skill in capturing the nuances of human features. The individual heads, rendered in pencil on paper, are depicted in profile, offering a glimpse into the artist's observational approach. The sketches, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provide a fascinating look into Tavenraat's artistic process and his ability to convey character through subtle lines and textures.
