Gezadeld paard, in draf 1840 - 1880

Johannes Tavenraat's pen and ink drawing "Gezadeld paard, in draf" depicts a horse in motion, capturing its powerful musculature and dynamic energy. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the horse's anatomy, particularly the flowing mane and powerful legs. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a study of animal movement and showcases Tavenraat's talent for capturing the essence of a subject in a simple yet expressive manner.
