Mannenkop 1848 - 1927

"Mannenkop," a detailed pencil drawing by Dutch artist August Allebé, captures the essence of a classical sculpture. The work, created between 1848 and 1927, depicts the head and shoulders of a figure, likely a depiction of a Greek god or hero. The artist’s precise lines and subtle shading create a sense of volume and realism, emphasizing the sculptural form. The drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates Allebé's skill in rendering anatomy and classical aesthetic.
