Twee koppen 1840 - 1880

"Twee koppen" (Two Heads) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1840 and 1880. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two caricatured heads in profile, likely a study for a larger work. Tavenraat, known for his portraiture and satirical drawings, used expressive lines and exaggerated features to capture the essence of his subjects, suggesting a humorous or critical observation. The small size and informal nature of the sketch reflect the artist's personal practice and artistic exploration.
