Drie studies van een geschoten haas Possibly 1872 - 1879

"Drie studies van een geschoten haas" (Three Studies of a Shot Hare) is a work by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1872 and 1879. This pen and ink sketch, now in the Rijksmuseum, features three different perspectives of a dead hare, captured with meticulous detail. The studies likely served as preparatory sketches for a larger artwork, demonstrating Tavenraat's keen observation of nature. This piece is a testament to his artistic skill, offering a glimpse into his working process and the anatomical intricacies of the animal world.
