"Hert" (Stag), a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a stag in profile, leaping over a low bush. Tavenraat's style is characterized by loose, expressive lines, emphasizing the movement and vitality of the animal. This small drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with nature and his skillful representation of animal form.
