in't bosch - schets Possibly 1880 - 1882

This is a pen and ink sketch of a leaping hare by Johannes Tavenraat. The image is a study for a larger work, a hunting scene, likely a painting or a print. Tavenraat is best known for his landscapes and animal studies, which often feature realistic details. The sketch is a quick and gestural depiction of the hare, capturing its dynamic movement and the artist’s vision for the final piece.
