Haas 1840 - 1880

This detailed pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat depicts a hare running through a field, its long ears and powerful legs captured in mid-stride. The artist's precise and skillful hatching creates a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the hare's sleek form against a lightly washed background. A testament to the artist's keen observation of nature, this artwork is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch animal studies and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
