Plaggenhut, beukenboom en heidelandschap in de omgeving van Het Zand bij Materborn 1857 - 1859

This pencil drawing, "Plaggenhut, beukenboom en heidelandschap in de omgeving van Het Zand bij Materborn," by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a landscape scene with a small house (Plaggenhut), a beech tree, and a heath landscape. Created between 1857 and 1859, this work is a testament to Tavenraat’s ability to capture the essence of the Dutch landscape. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate pencil strokes, which convey the texture of the trees, the rolling hills, and the atmospheric quality of the scene. The inscription on the drawing, written in the artist’s hand, offers insight into his observations and interpretations of the landscape. This drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
