Figuur, op de rug gezien 1840 - 1841

"Figuur, op de rug gezien" is a pencil sketch on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1840 and 1841. The drawing depicts a figure seen from behind, rendered in loose and gestural lines. Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and landscapes, is believed to have produced this sketch as a study of human form. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides insights into Tavenraat's artistic process and his interest in capturing the essence of human anatomy.
