Drie koppen 1840 - 1880

"Drie koppen" (Three Heads) is an ink drawing created by Johannes Tavenraat between 1840 and 1880, currently held at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing showcases three distinct facial profiles, rendered with detail and a sense of character. The artist's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and expression, making the heads appear almost lifelike despite their simplicity. This small-scale work exemplifies Tavenraat's keen observational skills and his interest in capturing human likeness.
