Portretstudie van verschillende hoofden 1825 - 1882

"Portretstudie van verschillende hoofden" (Portrait Study of Various Heads) is a drawing by Dutch artist Jacobus Ludovicus Cornet (1815-1882), held in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork is a study of five different heads, each drawn with a distinct style and expression. Cornet's careful observation of form and light is evident in the detail of each face and the interplay of shadows and highlights. The drawing exemplifies Cornet's mastery of portraiture and his focus on capturing the unique character of each subject. This study, likely created for a larger project, showcases the artist's meticulous approach to capturing the human form.
