"Waterval" (Waterfall) is a charcoal and wash drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. The artwork, likely created between 1858 and 1859, depicts a waterfall cascading over rocks with surrounding foliage. Tavenraat's loose and expressive style captures the movement of the water and the natural beauty of the scene. This drawing, currently in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his fascination with the natural world.
