Huifkar op de weg tussen Brussel en Parijs 1840

Johannes Tavenraat's "Huifkar op de weg tussen Brussel en Parijs" (1840) is a pencil drawing depicting a simple wooden cart, likely used for transporting goods or passengers, resting along the road between Brussels and Paris. The detailed rendering of the cart's wooden frame, wheels, and chains, and the simple yet expressive depiction of the surrounding grassy terrain are characteristic of Tavenraat's realistic style, which favored the accurate depiction of everyday objects and scenes. This drawing serves as a visual record of a commonplace yet important element of 19th-century European transportation.
