Studies naar twee antieke koppen 1822

"Studies naar twee antieke koppen" (Studies of Two Antique Heads) is a 1822 drawing by Antonis Aloisius Emanuel van Bedaff. It's a delicate pen drawing of the profile views of two heads - one male and one female - likely based on ancient sculptures. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases van Bedaff's keen observation of classical forms and his mastery of line. These studies, typical of academic drawing, show the artist's exploration of anatomical detail and the beauty of the human form.
