Man en vrouw 1848

Johannes Tavenraat's "Man en vrouw" is a small-scale pencil drawing dating back to 1848. The work depicts a man and a woman, both wearing cloaks, standing in a simplified, almost sketchy style. The man is shown wearing a tall hat, while the woman is partially obscured, making their interaction unclear. This work is characteristic of Tavenraat's style, which often focused on capturing the everyday life of ordinary people in a simple, straightforward way. The Rijksmuseum houses the artwork, which measures a mere 129mm x 108mm.
