Kerk c. 1839 - 1872

"Kerk" is a simple pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and architectural drawings. The artwork, dated c. 1839-1872, depicts a church building in a minimalist style. Tavenraat's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and volume, focusing on the essential structure of the church. The sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his interest in capturing the essence of his subject.
