Weiland met koeien en een roeiboot in een sloot c. 1862 - 1864

This sketch, created between 1862 and 1864 by Johannes Tavenraat, is a quick, gestural drawing. It depicts a man standing near a canal, with cows grazing in the foreground. A rowboat sits flipped over on the opposite bank of the canal. Tavenraat's work is characterized by his loose and expressive style. This drawing is a prime example of his quick sketches of rural scenes. This work, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the Netherlands during the mid-19th century.
