Berglandschap met een baai van de Maas 1840 - 1841

"Berglandschap met een baai van de Maas" is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, dating back to 1840-1841. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a landscape scene with a bay of the Meuse river, showcasing Tavenraat's ability to capture the natural world in a simple and expressive manner. The sketch-like quality of the drawing emphasizes the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the scene rather than creating a finished work, giving us a glimpse into his observational process.
