Waterput bij een stal 1839

"Waterput bij een stal" (Well near a stable) is a simple, yet evocative pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat. This 1839 work is a characteristic example of the Dutch artist’s realistic style. The drawing depicts a well with a wooden frame in front of a stable or other structure, capturing the everyday details of rural life. The focus on the well and its surrounding elements suggests a sense of practicality and the importance of water for daily life. Tavenraat, known for his depictions of Dutch landscapes and scenes of daily life, provides a glimpse into the quiet beauty of a simple rural setting with this drawing.
