"Annotatie" is a work on paper by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch painter known for his landscapes and portraits. Created in 1858, the piece currently resides in the Rijksmuseum. It is a simple, blank sheet of paper, possibly used for notes or sketches, its surface bearing evidence of age and use in the form of faint lines and brown spots. The piece offers a glimpse into the artist's process and creative habits.
