Schollevaarseiland 1843

"Schollevaarseiland" (1843) is a pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. The artwork depicts a serene river scene with three figures in a boat, a large tree casting a shadow over the water, and birds flying overhead. Tavenraat's keen eye for detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the vegetation and the atmospheric quality of the light. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the rural life and natural beauty of the Netherlands in the 19th century.
