Koppen 1840 - 1880

This small drawing, created by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat (1809-1881), is an invitation to a meeting of the "Viesvereeniging, Genheid door Vrijheid" (Association for Freedom). Dated 1840-1880, the artwork depicts three stylized faces, possibly caricatures, in ink on paper. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The invitation is inscribed with the date and time of the meeting, held in a notary's office. The graphic style of the drawing highlights the importance of the event and potentially reflects the artistic trends of the time.
