Studieblad met koppen 1867

Johannes Tavenraat's "Studiebled met koppen" (1867) is a study in pen and ink of various heads in profile. The artist, known for his portraits and landscapes, captures the essence of his subjects with quick, expressive strokes. The emphasis on facial features and the distinct characterizations suggest a focus on individual personalities and human diversity, a theme often explored in Tavenraat's work. This intimate study, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artist's process of observation and rendering, making it an important piece for understanding his artistic development.
