Portretkoppen van twee mannen c. 1881 - 1888

Anton Mauve's "Portretkoppen van twee mannen" is a quick sketch of two men's heads, drawn in charcoal on paper. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Mauve's distinctive style, capturing the essence of his subjects with loose, expressive strokes. The loose, gestural lines of the sketch, along with the unfinished quality, show the artist's interest in capturing a fleeting moment.
