Jachthonden en koppen 1840 - 1880

"Jachthonden en koppen" (Hunting Dogs and Heads) is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his detailed animal studies. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a collection of sketches capturing the dynamic postures of hunting dogs and a few human heads. The use of quick, expressive lines suggests a focus on capturing movement and anatomical detail rather than achieving photorealism. This drawing offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his keen observation of the natural world.
