Drie vissen Possibly 1872

"Drie vissen" (Three Fish) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, dated November 26, 1872. This small-scale study, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three fish laid out in a simple composition, their forms rendered with a delicate and precise line. The work offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's interest in natural observation, as he captured the subtle details of the fish's scales and fins.
