Boerin in Sint Hubert 1873

"Boerin in Sint Hubert" is a pencil sketch by Johannes Tavenraat from 1873, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a simple, quick sketch of a woman in profile, captured with minimal detail. The loose lines and expressive strokes suggest a rapid, observational study, likely created in the field. Tavenraat, known for his landscape and genre paintings, often utilized sketches to capture fleeting moments and inform his larger works. This drawing, a glimpse into his artistic process, offers insight into his keen eye for capturing the essence of everyday life.
