Kale boom in Berg en Dal bij Kleef 1843

Johannes Tavenraat’s 1843 pencil drawing, "Kale boom in Berg en Dal bij Kleef," is a study of a bare tree branch. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines that capture the texture and form of the wood. This drawing demonstrates Tavenraat's skill as a draughtsman and his interest in the natural world. The simplicity of the subject matter allows the viewer to focus on the beauty of the tree's structure and the artist's precise rendering. This artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
