Schetsen van paarden, ruiter en landschap met boerderij 1840 - 1880

"Schetsen van paarden, ruiter en landschap met boerderij" is a sketch by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, dating back to 1840-1880. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features multiple sketches of horses in dynamic poses, including a rider on horseback, a rearing horse, and another horse leaping over a fence. The piece is a study of the anatomy and movement of horses, characteristic of Tavenraat's artistic style. The quick, expressive lines and details of the landscape, including a farmhouse, provide context and add to the overall composition. This sketch demonstrates the artist's keen eye for observation and his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through a series of dynamic studies.
