Twee koppen 1840 - 1880

"Twee koppen" (Two heads) is a graphite and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and caricatures. Dated between 1840 and 1880, the small-scale work depicts two profile views of elderly faces, possibly a study for a larger piece. The expressive lines and hatching capture the wrinkles and age lines, creating a sense of realism and depth. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic practice and skill in capturing human features.
