Liggende jager 1840 - 1880

"Liggende jager" (Reclining Hunter) is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, dating to the late 19th century. It showcases the artist's skill in capturing the human form through swift, expressive lines. The sketch depicts a reclining figure, likely a hunter, with details like a wide-brimmed hat and a rifle adding context to the scene. This work is a prime example of Tavenraat's talent for creating dynamic and evocative sketches, demonstrating his ability to capture the essence of a subject with minimal detail. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic practice.
