"Harzgebergte" is a pencil drawing on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes. Dated 1840, the drawing is a simple sketch of a mountain range, perhaps the Harz Mountains of Germany. The work is a testament to Tavenraat's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of a scene with just a few lines. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
