Jachthond en koppen 1840 - 1880

"Jachthond en koppen" is a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and animal studies, created between 1840 and 1880. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a running hunting dog and three sketches of human heads. The simple lines and light brown washes of this pen and ink drawing highlight Tavenraat's skill at capturing movement and expression. This small yet detailed work exemplifies the artist's talent for observation and his fascination with the natural world, making it a compelling example of 19th-century Dutch artistic practice.
