Koppen 1840 - 1880

"Koppen" (Heads) is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his caricatures and portraits. Created between 1840 and 1880, the work depicts three individuals in profile, with exaggerated features and expressive lines. Tavenraat's quick, gestural style captures the essence of his subjects, showcasing his keen observation of human nature. The drawing is a testament to the artist's ability to imbue simple lines with personality and humor. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
