In 't Bosch 1840 - 1870

"In 't Bosch" is a sepia-toned etching by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, depicting a stag running through a dense forest. Created between 1840 and 1870, the artwork utilizes a delicate hatching technique to capture the textures of the forest and the stag's musculature. The small size and intimate subject matter evoke a sense of observation and connection to nature, characteristic of the Romantic era. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
