Ingang van de ijskelder van Kasteel Rosendael 1833

Johannes Tavenraat's 1833 pencil drawing, "Ingang van de ijskelder van Kasteel Rosendael," depicts a simple scene: the entrance to an ice cellar at Rosendael Castle, framed by trees and a brick wall. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Tavenraat's focus on precise detail and a naturalistic style. The artist's attention to the textured brickwork, the gnarled roots of the tree, and the dappled light filtering through the trees adds depth and realism to the composition. This piece offers a glimpse into the landscape and architectural features of 19th-century Netherlands.
