Rivierlandschap 1840 - 1880

"Rivierlandschap" is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, dating from between 1840 and 1880, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork captures a serene Dutch river landscape, showcasing a windmill standing tall against a cloudy sky, a small boat with a figure on board, and a farmhouse by the water's edge. Tavenraat's meticulous lines and delicate shading give a sense of depth and perspective to the scene, characteristic of 19th-century Dutch Realism.
