Paard in galop en twee mannen- en één vrouwenkop 1864 - 1880

Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his genre paintings and portraits, created this dynamic sketch titled "Paard in galop en twee mannen- en één vrouwenkop" between 1864 and 1880. The artwork features a galloping horse in the center, capturing its powerful movement through a series of loose, expressive lines. Three heads, two male and one female, are positioned around the horse, adding a sense of observation and interaction to the scene. This study, likely drawn from life, is a testament to Tavenraat's keen eye for capturing motion and form. The sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing art enthusiasts a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
