Kop van een hond 1819 - 1881

"Kop van een hond" (Head of a Dog) is a graphite drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, created sometime between 1819 and 1881. The drawing depicts a dog's head in profile, with the animal's eye, ear and snout rendered in meticulous detail. The subtle shading and meticulous lines showcase Tavenraat's skill and attention to detail. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's talent for capturing the essence of animal subjects through a realistic and delicate approach.
