Haas 1840 - 1880

Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies, created this ink drawing titled "Haas" sometime between 1840 and 1880. The work depicts a hare in motion, its long ears and slender limbs captured with a quick and expressive line. The artist's use of washes and hatches brings the hare to life, highlighting its muscular form and sense of movement. Today, this small drawing, measuring just 90 mm in height and 124 mm in width, can be seen at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
