"Rivierlandschap" (River Landscape), a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a typical Dutch landscape with windmills, a river, and a distant village. The drawing is characterized by the artist's loose and gestural style, with quick strokes capturing the essence of the scene. This small-scale work, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Tavenraat's skill in capturing the beauty of his native Dutch countryside.
