Jachthonden 1840 - 1880

"Jachthonden" (Hunting Dogs) is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. Created between 1840 and 1880, the artwork depicts three hunting dogs in a dynamic pose. The central dog stands, its head raised, and the other two lie on the ground, creating a sense of action and movement. The detailed rendering of the dogs' anatomy and expressions exemplifies Tavenraat's meticulous style and his keen observation of nature. "Jachthonden" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent museum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic mastery.
