Hert en hond 1840 - 1880

"Hert en hond" is a quick sketch created by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist, sometime between 1840 and 1880. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a stag, rendered in brown ink on paper, leaping over a dog. The simple yet expressive lines capture the movement and energy of the scene, conveying a sense of the hunt. The sketch, measuring only 95 mm in height and 174 mm in width, demonstrates Tavenraat's skill in capturing a moment of action with minimal detail.
