Rustende jager met zijn hond bij een grote boom 1840 - 1870

Johannes Tavenraat's "Rustende jager met zijn hond bij een grote boom" is a pen and ink drawing, currently in the Rijksmuseum, that depicts a hunter resting beneath a large tree with his dog. The drawing, created between 1840 and 1870, showcases Tavenraat's skill in capturing the details of the natural world, and his appreciation for the simple beauty of everyday life. The hunter is positioned in the foreground, his relaxed posture and the presence of his faithful canine companion conveying a sense of calm and tranquility amidst the rugged landscape. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and realism to the scene, creating a sense of intimacy between the hunter and his surroundings.
