Haas 1840 - 1880

This pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat depicts a pair of hares bounding across a grassy field. The artist's loose, expressive lines capture the energy and speed of the animals, creating a dynamic composition. Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies, was particularly interested in the movement and anatomy of animals. This drawing, created between 1840 and 1880, showcases his skill in capturing the essence of nature through subtle details and a masterful use of line. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
