Johannes Tavenraat's "Liggende koe, een eend en twee mannen met een zeis" (c. 1862-1864) is a pencil and ink sketch on paper, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work is a study of form and movement, as evidenced by the loose, expressive lines used to depict a cow lying down, a duck, and two men wielding scythes. Tavenraat's keen observation of nature is evident in his detailed rendition of the animals, showcasing the artist's interest in the natural world. The sketch’s raw and unfinished nature points to its function as a preparatory drawing, highlighting the artist’s process and the evolution of his ideas.
