"Kop" is a small ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and landscapes. This drawing depicts a profile of a man's head, likely a study for a larger work. The delicate lines and simple composition are characteristic of Tavenraat's style. The drawing is dated 1870, suggesting it was created during a period of intense artistic activity for the artist. "Kop" is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and provides a glimpse into Tavenraat's creative process.
