Laan in de bossen van Kleef c. 1839 - 1872

"Laan in de bossen van Kleef" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, dating from circa 1839-1872. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork showcases Tavenraat's meticulous attention to detail as he captures the essence of a forested path through loose, gestural lines. The sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, reveals Tavenraat's interest in capturing the natural world in a spontaneous and expressive manner.
