Huis naast een bomenpad 1864 - 1880

"Huis naast een bomenpad" (House Next to a Tree Path), created between 1864 and 1880 by Dutch painter Johannes Tavenraat, showcases a simple country scene. The drawing depicts a small house nestled beside a path lined with trees, a common subject in Tavenraat's oeuvre. Executed in delicate pencil and watercolor washes, the work captures the quiet charm of rural Dutch landscapes. The soft tones and loose brushstrokes suggest a peaceful and idyllic setting, echoing the artist's preference for portraying unassuming scenes of daily life. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
