"Twee rennende herten in een bos" (Two running deer in a forest) is a pen and ink drawing on paper created by Johannes Tavenraat in 1858. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts two deer running through a forest. The dark ink and subtle washes create a sense of movement and depth within the forest setting. Tavenraat's artwork showcases the natural beauty of the forest, highlighting the graceful movements of the deer as they navigate their woodland home. The artist's use of line and shadow adds to the realism of the piece, drawing the viewer into the heart of the forest.
