"Kop" is a graphite drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and genre scenes. This small-scale drawing, created between 1840 and 1880, showcases Tavenraat's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression. The piece depicts a head in profile, with a focus on the subject's features and the subtle lines of their face. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its artistic merit.
