Twee herten in een berglandschap 1858

"Twee herten in een berglandschap" (1858) is a pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and animal studies. The drawing features two deer, one with large antlers, in a mountainous landscape. The deer are depicted in a dynamic pose, suggesting movement, and the artist uses quick, loose lines to capture the scene. This sketch, typical of Tavenraat's work, exemplifies his talent for conveying the natural world with simplicity and directness. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides insight into Tavenraat's artistic process and the landscape he observed.
