Kop van een hond, naar links 1819 - 1881

Johannes Tavenraat's "Kop van een hond, naar links" (Head of a Dog, to the Left) is a pencil drawing of a dog's head, executed between 1819 and 1881. The realistic detail and subtle shading of the dog's fur are characteristic of Tavenraat's style, demonstrating his skill in animal portraiture. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the artist's focus on capturing the essence of his subjects.
