Jachthond 1840 - 1880

"Jachthond," a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a hunting dog standing in profile against a simple landscape. The artist, known for his animal studies, captures the dog's muscular form with loose, expressive lines, creating a sense of movement and energy. This intimate drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Tavenraat's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The artwork is small in scale, measuring 78 mm in height and 111 mm in width.
