Studieblad met ruiters, paarden en eenden 1839

"Studie blad met ruiters, paarden en eenden" is a study sheet created in 1839 by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sheet features multiple sketches of horses in various poses, including a harnessed horse, a horse jumping, and a horse being ridden. It also includes two ducks in different positions. Tavenraat's quick penstrokes, as well as the ink's splatters, create a dynamic and expressive image that highlights the artist's interest in capturing the movement and anatomy of his subjects.
