Figuur met een hond op een landweg 1842 - 1868

Johannes Tavenraat's "Figuur met een hond op een landweg" is a pencil drawing depicting a figure and a dog walking down a rural path. The artwork, which was created between 1842 and 1868, is a beautiful example of Tavenraat's skill at capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases his attention to detail, creating a sense of depth and tranquility in the landscape. The figure in the foreground provides a sense of scale, emphasizing the vastness of the surrounding natural setting. Tavenraat’s meticulous use of line and shading enhances the composition's realism, making it a striking example of Dutch Romanticism.
