Geitenkop naar links 1780 - 1851

"Geitenkop naar links" is a detailed pencil drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Janson, created sometime between 1780 and 1851. The small-scale drawing, measuring 96mm by 84mm, depicts the head of a goat in profile, facing left. Janson, born in 1765, was known for his meticulous animal studies, which often served as preparatory sketches for larger paintings. This drawing showcases his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of animal anatomy, particularly the texture of the goat’s fur and the expressive qualities of its features.
