Appelboer 1858

"Appelboer" is a pen and ink drawing created by Johannes Tavenraat in 1858. The work depicts a man in profile, his face exaggerated and comical, with a large nose and a wide mouth. Tavenraat was a Dutch artist known for his portraits and caricatures, often capturing the unique features of his subjects. "Appelboer," meaning "apple farmer," is a testament to Tavenraat's ability to portray character and personality through his drawings. The work is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
