Blad met koppen 1868 - 1869

Johannes Tavenraat's "Blad met koppen" (1868-1869) showcases the artist's masterful use of pen and ink to capture the character of everyday people. The sheet features nine individual head studies, each rendered with an impressive level of detail, showcasing Tavenraat's keen observation and understanding of human anatomy. The expressive lines and subtle shading evoke a sense of realism, highlighting the individuality of each subject. These studies serve as a testament to Tavenraat's dedication to his craft and his fascination with the human condition. The drawing is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
