Drie koppen 1840 - 1880

"Drie koppen" (Three Heads) is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his caricatures and portraits. This small-scale artwork depicts three heads, each with exaggerated features, likely a study of human anatomy and expression. Created between 1840 and 1880, the work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his fascination with the human form. The quick and gestural lines highlight the artist's ability to capture character and personality in a simple yet expressive manner.
