This sketch by Johannes Tavenraat, dated between 1858 and 1859, depicts a stone staircase leading up a rocky mountainside. The artist, known for his landscape paintings, employed a loose and gestural style in this work, capturing the rugged beauty of the natural environment. This preliminary sketch, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and his keen eye for detail.
