Boomstronk, mannenkoppen, een hond en een eend 1841

Johannes Tavenraat's "Boomstronk, mannenkoppen, een hond en een eend" (1841) is a quick sketch composed of various details, including a dog standing on a tree stump, two men's heads, a duck, a fern, and some mushrooms. This artwork is characteristic of Tavenraat's style, a combination of realism and whimsy, often found in his sketches and studies of nature. The piece provides a glimpse into the artist's observation of the natural world, capturing the essence of everyday subjects with a lighthearted and humorous approach. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Tavenraat's keen eye for detail and his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
