Bomen bij de Plantage 1871

"Bomen bij de Plantage" (Trees at the Plantation) is a pencil drawing on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, dating back to 1871. This delicate landscape sketch captures the artist's keen eye for detail, using subtle shading and hatching techniques to portray the texture of tree bark and foliage. The simple composition highlights the natural beauty of the forest, placing emphasis on the individual trees and their distinct forms. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to Tavenraat's talent for capturing the essence of nature through his sensitive and expressive touch.
