Boerderij 1840 - 1880

"Boerderij" is a pen and ink drawing on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of landscapes and animals. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features multiple sketches of hares in various poses, showcasing the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy. Two figures on horseback, possibly hunters, are also included in the composition, suggesting the subject matter of the drawing. This sketch is a fine example of Tavenraat's use of quick, expressive lines to capture the essence of his subjects.
