Blad met schetsen van koppen, een koe en een haas 1840 - 1880

Johannes Tavenraat's *Blad met schetsen van koppen, een koe en een haas* (1840-1880) is a sheet of sketches featuring several heads, a cow, and a hare. This quick study, executed in brown ink, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects with swift, confident lines. The dynamic composition, with heads and figures arranged throughout the page, offers a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and reveals his interest in observing everyday life. The sketch's intimate scale, measuring only 117 mm by 136 mm, makes it a compelling example of the artist's mastery of drawing. This artwork is a testament to the artist's observational skills and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects in quick and expressive strokes.
