Gezicht op een dorp 1841 - 1853

"Gezicht op een dorp" is a pencil sketch on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, dated 1841-1853. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process, showcasing his preliminary ideas for a larger landscape composition. The sketch, likely a preparatory study for a painting, depicts a village scene with a focus on the contours and details of the landscape. The faint pencil lines capture the essence of the village, hinting at the potential for a more detailed and developed final piece.
