Beschrijving van een waterval Possibly 1858 - 1859

"Beschrijving van een waterval" (Description of a Waterfall), likely dating back to 1858-1859, is a work by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat (1809-1881). Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork is not a painting, but a handwritten description of a waterfall, possibly a study or a draft for a larger work. The text suggests Tavenraat was fascinated by the details and dynamics of nature, utilizing descriptive language to capture the visual aspects of a waterfall. This work offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his meticulous observation of the natural world.
