Jachthond 1840 - 1880

"Jachthond" (Hunting Dog) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1840 and 1880. The drawing depicts two dogs, one in profile and the other in motion, suggesting a study for a larger work. Tavenraat, known for his animal studies, captures the dogs' anatomy with careful detail, showcasing his mastery of line and form. This small yet expressive drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's process and his keen observation of animal life.
