Vlak landschap met een paard 1864 - 1880

"Vlak landschap met een paard" (Flat landscape with a horse), a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a spotted horse in profile in a flat, open landscape. A windmill can be seen in the distance and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner. The sketch-like quality of the drawing, executed in brown ink and wash, demonstrates Tavenraat’s skill in capturing the essence of his subject with economy of line. The work is a fine example of Dutch landscape art and can be seen at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
