Paarden 1840 - 1880

"Paarden" (Horses) is a study of three horses, created by Johannes Tavenraat between 1840 and 1880. The small-scale ink drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the animals in profile, showcasing Tavenraat's keen eye for anatomical detail and his mastery of line. The artist's interest in capturing the forms and movements of horses is evident in this piece, a testament to his dedication to the art of animal studies.
