Schetsboek met 87 bladen c. 1841 - 1853

Johannes Tavenraat's "Schetsboek met 87 bladen" (c. 1841-1853) is a sketch book containing 87 pages of the artist’s work. The book is now housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a valuable insight into Tavenraat’s creative process. The dark blue cover and worn edges of this sketchbook suggest it was well-used and cherished by the artist. This small but significant object provides a window into the artistic journey of a 19th-century Dutch painter.
