Sicamber-kopjes 1782 - 1784

"Sicamber-kopjes" is an etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles, created between 1782 and 1784. The artwork depicts a collection of heads, featuring both male and female figures, with a variety of hairstyles and headdresses, capturing a glimpse into the diverse hairstyles of the Batavian people. Vinkeles' meticulous detail and skilled rendering bring these individuals to life in a style that is both historically significant and artistically engaging. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of the cultural identity and aesthetic trends of the Batavian people in the late 18th century.
