Hazen 1840 - 1880

This drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies, depicts a series of hares in various positions. Dated between 1840 and 1880, the work showcases Tavenraat's keen observation and skill in capturing the fleeting movements of these animals. The artist's use of ink creates a sense of dynamism, highlighting the hares' muscularity and the energy of their jumps and leaps. This study is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the artistic merit and historical significance of Tavenraat's work.
