"Twee mannen in een roeiboot" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and genre scenes. The artwork, dated after 1854, depicts two figures in a rowing boat, likely a quick study captured by the artist. The simplistic lines and subtle shading evoke the spontaneity of the moment, showcasing Tavenraat's keen observation and ability to capture the essence of a scene in a few strokes. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with everyday life.
