Jachthonden 1840 - 1880

"Jachthonden" (Hunting Dogs) is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. Created between 1840 and 1880, the drawing features two dogs in a landscape setting. The larger dog is depicted in the foreground, its body contorted in a dynamic pose, while the smaller dog stands in the distance, a building and a small plume of smoke visible behind it. This work is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and showcases Tavenraat's mastery in capturing the energy and movement of his animal subjects.
