Kasteel op een berg 1869

"Kasteel op een berg" (Castle on a Mountain) is a delicate pencil and wash drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. Dated 1869, the drawing depicts a castle perched atop a hill, rendered with a light touch and a sense of atmospheric perspective. The composition is simple and elegant, with the castle dominating the scene and receding into the distance, showcasing Tavenraat's skillful use of line and tone. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's approach to capturing the beauty of the natural world.
