Twee herten bij een boom 1840 - 1880

Johannes Tavenraat's "Twee herten bij een boom" (Two Deer by a Tree) is a pen and ink drawing from the late 19th century. The drawing depicts two deer, one with large antlers, standing near a tree. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate lines used to depict the animals' anatomy and the tree's bark. This small-scale work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Tavenraat's skill in animal studies and his penchant for capturing the beauty of nature through his art.
