Paard met wagen bij een voederbak op het landgoed Rhederoord 1833

Johannes Tavenraat’s 1833 drawing, "Paard met wagen bij een voederbak op het landgoed Rhederoord," depicts a horse standing at a feeding trough, harnessed to a wagon. The quick sketch, rendered in graphite on paper, captures a moment of everyday life on the Rhederoord estate, highlighting the artist’s interest in naturalistic observation. Tavenraat (1809-1881) was a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings and drawings. This drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into his working methods and his ability to capture the essence of a scene with a few strokes of the pencil.
