Jachthond 1840 - 1880

"Jachthond" (Hunting Dog) is an ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. Dating from between 1840 and 1880, the artwork captures the essence of a hunting dog in a simple yet expressive manner. The dog is depicted standing on a field, with a background of rolling hills, rendered with loose and gestural lines. Tavenraat's focus on capturing the animal's form and movement gives the drawing a sense of energy and life. The drawing is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its artistic merit.
