Landschap 1841 - 1853

"Landschap" (Landscape) is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1841 and 1853. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork features a simplified depiction of a landscape, likely representing the Dutch countryside, with distinct lines highlighting the hills, water, and sky. The artist used pencil to capture the essence of the scene, highlighting the shapes and forms rather than detailed textures. This sketch is an example of Tavenraat's artistic process and his focus on capturing the essence of a place through simplified lines and forms.
