"Rieten wieg" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings. The artwork depicts a woven cradle, possibly a traditional Dutch one, rendered with simple, expressive lines. It's unclear whether this is a study for a larger work or a standalone piece, but it exemplifies Tavenraat's keen observation of everyday objects, highlighting their form and texture. The sketch, dating from 1839-1872, is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering insight into the artist's working process and artistic sensibilities.
