Twee mannen in Tiroler kostuum c. 1858 - 1859

"Twee mannen in Tiroler kostuum" (Two men in Tyrolean costume) is a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist who was known for his sketches and watercolors. Created sometime between 1858 and 1859, the artwork depicts two men, likely in traditional Tyrolean attire, viewed from the back. Tavenraat's quick, expressive lines capture the essence of their posture and clothing, hinting at their movements and the atmosphere of their surroundings. This work, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his interest in documenting everyday life.
