Vlak landschap met bomen 1842 - 1868

"Vlak landschap met bomen" (Flat Landscape with Trees), a pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, is a simple yet evocative depiction of a Dutch landscape. Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes, captures the essence of a flat, open expanse with a cluster of trees dominating the foreground. The composition, with its focus on the trees and their delicate branches, suggests the artist’s interest in capturing the details of nature. The drawing, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates Tavenraat’s skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
