Landschap bij de 's-Gravenweg in Kralingen 1875 - 1879

This pencil sketch, "Landschap bij de 's-Gravenweg in Kralingen" by Johannes Tavenraat, is a quick and expressive landscape view, likely made on location. Dated 1875-1879, it shows the artist's keen eye for capturing a scene of a small forest by a river, with a light, airy touch. The loose, gestural lines convey the feeling of a fleeting moment, characteristic of Tavenraat's work, and exemplify a quick "plein air" approach to sketching. This work is currently located in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artist's working process.
