Eenden c. 1839 - 1872

"Eenden," a pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts four ducks in various poses. Created between 1839 and 1872, the artwork is a study of the animal's form and movement. Tavenraat's meticulous detail and expressive lines bring the ducks to life, highlighting their feathered textures and anatomical features. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's keen observation and skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The loose lines of the drawing give it a sense of immediacy and dynamism, capturing a fleeting moment in the ducks' lives.
