Haas Possibly 1880 - 1886

This pen and ink drawing, Haas, by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a hare in mid-leap. The artist, known for his meticulous detail and keen observation of nature, captures the animal's dynamic movement with fluid lines. The signature, dated 6/3 '80, suggests the drawing may have been completed in 1880, although the artwork’s date is listed as possibly 1880-1886. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Tavenraat's talent for capturing the essence of animal form and motion.
