Wolven en lied 1840 - 1880

"Wolven en lied" is a pen-and-ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and animal studies. Created between 1840 and 1880, the work depicts a pack of wolves in a simple, expressive style. The wolves are shown howling, their elongated forms and sharp lines conveying their wild nature. This small, intimate drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Tavenraat’s skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
