Drie baarzen 1840 - 1880

Johannes Tavenraat's "Drie baarzen" (Three Perch) is a detailed pencil drawing of three fish. It depicts the fish from various angles, showcasing the artist's keen observation of their form and structure. This study of fish, created sometime between 1840 and 1880, demonstrates Tavenraat's interest in naturalism and his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through subtle shading and linework. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
