Houten roeiboot aan de oever van een rivier of meer 1840 - 1841

"Houten roeiboot aan de oever van een rivier of meer" (Wooden rowing boat on the bank of a river or lake) is a pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch landscape painter, created between 1840 and 1841. The sketch depicts a simple wooden boat with a mast and sail at the edge of a body of water. The composition is minimalistic and focuses on the boat’s lines and form. It is likely that this is a preliminary study for a larger painting, typical of the artist’s work. This piece is currently in the Rijksmuseum.
