Jachtopziener Adrianus Sebel in de eendenhut 1864 - 1868

"Jachtopziener Adrianus Sebel in de eendenhut" (1864-1868) is a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts Adrianus Sebel, a gamekeeper, in a duck blind. Tavenraat utilizes a monochromatic palette, likely using pen and ink on paper, to capture a realistic and intimate portrait of Sebel. The composition is simple yet effective, with Sebel taking center stage. The surrounding brushstrokes suggest the presence of reeds, adding to the sense of realism.
