"Kleurendriehoek," meaning "Color Triangle" in Dutch, is a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch painter known for his landscapes and cityscapes. This artwork, dated possibly 1858-1859, is a simple sketch of a triangle with "Geel" (Yellow), "Oranje" (Orange), and "Rood" (Red) written at its vertices, possibly indicating a color theory study. It's housed at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Tavenraat's artistic process and potential interest in color relationships.
