Rivierlandschap 1840 - 1880

"Rivierlandschap" is a watercolor by Johannes Tavenraat, dating from 1840 - 1880, currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a Dutch river landscape featuring a windmill in the foreground. Tavenraat's quick, impressionistic style is evident in the loose strokes of ink and watercolor, capturing the essence of the scene. The delicate washes of color evoke the soft light of the sky and water, while the windmill, a recognizable symbol of the Dutch countryside, stands out against the calm river.
