Een beetje aangeschoten 1840 - 1880

"Een beetje aangeschoten" (A Little Bit Shot) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Johannes Tavenraat, created sometime between 1840 and 1880. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a hare in a landscape setting with a distant farmhouse. Tavenraat is known for his animal studies, and this work captures the intricate details of the hare's anatomy with a delicate touch. The title and the hare's pose suggest a moment of vulnerability and perhaps a sense of the hunt. The drawing's small size, measuring just 90mm by 122mm, lends a sense of intimacy to the subject.
