Zeilschepen, mannenkoppen en een landschap 1864

"Zeilschepen, mannenkoppen en een landschap" (Sailing Ships, Men's Heads and a Landscape) is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings. Created in 1864, the piece is a collection of three distinct sketches on a single sheet of paper. The left side features a series of three male heads, two hares running through a field, and sailing ships in the distance. On the right side, Tavenraat depicts a small village, possibly in the Netherlands, with a tall church spire in the center. This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Tavenraat's sketchbook work, providing glimpses into his creative process and observation of the world around him.
