Kop leeuwin 1866 - 1939

"Kop leeuwin" is a detailed drawing of a lioness's head created by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink between 1866 and 1939. The piece showcases Wierink's talent for animal portraiture, capturing the feline's fierce yet pensive expression. The lioness's fur, meticulously rendered with subtle shading, creates a sense of volume and realism. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates Wierink's keen observation and artistic skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
