Gevlogen 1840 - 1880

"Gevlogen" is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his detailed animal studies. Created between 1840 and 1880, the artwork depicts a dog in a dynamic pose, its head tilted upwards as if in mid-bark. The artist uses quick, expressive lines to capture the animal's energy and movement. The background suggests a natural setting, with the dog seemingly positioned on a grassy knoll. This small drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Tavenraat's talent for capturing animal anatomy and behavior.
