"Kop" is a small ink drawing of a woman's head in profile by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and genre paintings. The drawing, created sometime between 1840 and 1880, depicts a woman with a simple hairstyle, emphasizing her facial features and a subtle smile. This intimate portrait, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Tavenraat's talent for capturing likeness with quick and expressive strokes.
