Kop 1840 - 1880

"Kop" is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist who lived from 1809 to 1881. The small-scale artwork, measuring 55 mm in height and 48 mm in width, depicts a detailed profile of an older man's face. The drawing, created between 1840 and 1880, showcases Tavenraat's skill in capturing subtle facial features and expressing a sense of realism through precise lines. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, "Kop" exemplifies Tavenraat's interest in portraying the human form, particularly the complexities of age and character.
