Twee kattenkoppen 1820 - 1833

"Twee kattenkoppen" (Two Cat Heads) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Roelof van der Meulen, created between 1820 and 1833. The drawing showcases two detailed cat heads, rendered with great accuracy, one in profile and the other facing the viewer with an open mouth, showing its teeth. Van der Meulen's attention to detail and skillful use of graphite is evident in this work, which is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The drawing's simple composition, consisting of just the two cat heads, highlights van der Meulen's technical prowess in capturing animal anatomy.
