"Slot" is a pencil drawing on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist, created sometime after 1854. The drawing depicts a castle, likely a "slot" or castle in the Netherlands, sketched in a simple, almost rudimentary style with emphasis on outlining the structure of the castle and its surrounding landscape. The artist, known for his architectural drawings and landscapes, captures the essence of the subject in a minimalist manner. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his fascination with architecture.
