Arrenslee op het ijs 1840 - 1880

"Arrenslee op het ijs" (1840-1880) by Johannes Tavenraat depicts a horse-drawn sleigh on a frozen lake. The artist uses a loose, gestural style in pen and ink to capture the movement of the horse and the figures in the sleigh. Tavenraat's work is known for its keen observations of everyday life in the Netherlands, and this drawing is a charming example of his talent for capturing the details of a winter scene. The Rijksmuseum currently holds the piece, which is 105mm in height and 272mm in width.
